agree  Moodi: أحياناً (فتل أو التوى) الشاصي ، ولكنه لا ينثني أبداً وهذا في حالة انقلاب السيارة ، أما في حالة الاصطدام الأمامي أو الخلفي فإنه ينحني سواء نحو الأعلى أو نحو الأسفل

  -> Thanks for the additional explanation. من جهة العربية، نعم فتل أو التواء شائعتان أكثر من برم، ولكنّني كسورية أصلاً معتادة عليها
