I'm guessing that would have been very painful.

I've seen a guy make a panic stop, hop off and start clutching the throat. Obviously he had been clobbered by a southbound bug as he was heading north.
If you are going sixty and it's going ten, then that's a seventy MPH bug strike. Earlier report of a bug busting someone s shades by center punching the cross bar,,
Sure would hate to encounter some of the beetles we have out here.. be like a paintball..

I Did catch a bottle rocket in the throat, back when having wars was funny. It bounced off, and exploded a few inches away...
Staggering around, holding my throat, cussing the pain and laughing at how frikken funny that was..
Ohh, had I only been a witness,, would've been a lot funnier.
