No over reach. Back when 2 or 3 skinny spoke steering wheels were the rage, lots of people were impaled through the chest by the steering column in a head on collision that they might have otherwise survived. Early collapsing steering columns were just a nested tube and a plastic retaining device that allowed about a foot of travel.
