When I was a kid our family had a 69 Pontiac Catalina. One day I get in the passenger side and see a hole in the floorboard about the size of a half dollar. It was coming in at a 45 degree angle and was through several layers of metal. I asked my Dad what it was and he said he was driving on the freeway when he heard a loud sound that seemed to come from the car next to him. And then something whizzed past his head and bounced around the cabin. When he stopped to investigate he found a rock in the car.
I used to ride a motorcycle and always thought about that. If a rock could be kicked up and go through metal like a hot knife through butter what could it do to a person on a bike. I have since always been paranoid about debris being kicked up. It doesn't have to be big to do a lot of damage.
