That happened to a co-worker's high school aged kid. He was salmoning, and got hit. Co-worker had to pay for damages to the car. Co-worker was not pleased. The lawyer said cost of repair would be way less than they'd pay in legal fees for a case they'd lose anyway.
Apparently the kid's helmet saved his noggin though.
I've used bar-end mirrors on touring and mountain bikes. Never had a vibration issue. Maybe I'm blessed with smooth pavement.
