Wow I love this car it got good ratings in front and side crashes I feel so safe in this car

poor dummies i wouldn't like to have their job

[Samplemonster]

it would be so much more meaningful if they put their interpretations along with this video:

We watch this, see a wrecked car, and may interpret the guy is injured,

but in actually it may be a 5 star rating,

we will never know

(actually we can by researching, but why not make it available)

@Samplemonster A 5 star rating in no way means that crash victims will walk away completely uninjured. Rib fractures are a very common side impact injury.

guy in the back is fucked

Does the red mean blood?? if so.. thats not good at all!

[MikeHuntIsItchy]

it does but it cannot be right lol. No way would you just randomly bleed like that, air bags might sting, but not make you gush blood.

They paint the dummies heads with a colored lipstick (waxy) type paint the rubs off on areas the head impacts. It does not signify blood, It just shows where the head impacts inside the car.

G-forces are measured by accelerometers in the head, and they dictate if the forces are deadly to humans.

In this case the head impacts the side air curtain, which is good. I believe this car received the IIHS's highest rating of good for that test.
