As I said in another post, passive safety is in direct relation to chassis engineering. So, the newer, the better. In these older models cabin compartment is not designed to withstand the extra forces of an offset impact, nor the front is conceived to absorb them before they deform the passenger cell. No airbags would have saved the driver, nor maybe the rear passenger behind him. Sad, but true.
How stupid are you? It clearly says that they are "special" digital cameras, used by the military. The show is new, and they use old cars because they are cheap...GOD!!
there is always lucky people that can survive anything... and there is also bad lucky people that might die after falling in the street...who knows... probabilty isn´t everything.
the old ones are struckturaly solid the new ones are also solid with more absorption, neither car my '91 volvo 940T with a air bag or a brand new s60 would deliver some one from that alive all the safety stuff is for slower speeds
el volvo quedo mucho mejor que ese bmv, ademas se nota como funcionaron los sistemas de volvo como el motor el cual es empujado abajo y hacia atras, en cambio en el bmb, el motor queda en la cabina, el volvo recibe al bmv y lo tira lejos y este salta ala china.
ydea but think about this... you drive on the highways where every car are going in the same direction... Let say you are going @ 100mph and crash into a 60mph car, the imapct is 40mph, very survivable... but this test is done in a head on collision. 2 car @ 60 will result in a net 120mph impact... very different scenerios (even a 35mph head on will result in a full 70mph crash, yo can do the math.)
Dear sirs I have an innovative design as a safety bumper for cars and other light vehicles. As to my studies and calculatins it will absorb and dissipate more than 50% of inertial energy of the vehicle at the moment of collision for example when a car with a speed of 90 km/hr collides with a wall. Please notify me if you are interested. .

Well, whenn they saiing it wudent be any suvivers. they have prety wrong, i know abute a friend who are 20 years now who survived somthing like that. the cops said that he was lucky, but he crash like one times in the year. and he drive VOLVO 240
Well. You gotta be crazy to drive at that speed. Besides, Volvo has got more sales in the last years and more beautiful cars. I recently got the brand new S80 and I´m so happy with it, sucker.
This clip is old but gets it right. i worked as an EMT and a 2 car direct head-on collision at 60 (like this video), though rare, is almost always fatal - even for Volvo's. That's why crash tests are done at 40mph or below - any faster and you get the result seen.
My point was that 60 is not considered fast for most people. Most drivers (> 85%, my est) drive 60 or faster on the expressway. Hence my response to your comment "You gotta be crazy to drive at that speed. "
If people are allowed to see things like this they might get afraid of cars and not buy any which would put us in a recession. Consumer safety laws should be overturned to help create jobs and prsperity in light of this realization.

This crash test is totally pointless.
poor cars, they destroy good cars without reason caus at speed of about 90-100 kmh there CANT be SURVIVORS!
They knew that very important fact before crash, as we know that.
Total waste. (but in 1 way very attractive) =))
