that was only 55mph... this is a good lesson for those who hit 55mph in 2.5 seconds where a deceleration of 195mph to 55mph is not good enough to prevent some serious body damage.. going off course due to overshooting the maximum brake point is a bad idea.. always undershoot never overshoot is all I got to say
If you are driving at 55mph on a "sharp bend", you should expect to die. By leaving "hazards" such as trees exposed, the worst drivers are culled before they can kill other road users.
Indeed, the laguna's is exeptionally well engineered to protect it's occupants in a severe crash, but at certain speed the g-forces involved will be just to high for the human body to cope with.
I think no car design can protect you adequatly in a 100km/h+ crash against a stationary object.
They didn't say enough about how exceptional the Laguna was in that crash. I've seen an '87 BMW 535 literally sliced in two by a tree at lower speed than that. Better to have a broken leg than to die, as one of the BMW occupants did.
@davek12 They didn't say enough about how many of these accidents with trees are not head-on. Many are side-impact accidents, hitting the weakest area of the car, and that's how cars literally break in half.

It doesn't matter how badly designed the road is, people shouldn't be to stupid to realize thier going too fast.

@TheJoePepper The BMW was sliced lengthwise around the tree. Head on. E28 535i. Safety has come a long way in 25 years.

@davek12 the car is supposed to crumple on impact so the car takes the impact
