Crash Box of Formula Student

[Fiskmongo]

stupid idiots!



[themaxeatsfood]

Meanwhile in communist china...

[rcdooley77]

Helmet!! Safety Glasses?

[danopie111]

This is riddiculously stupid and especially without a helmet!

[miguffx]

uuhhhhh a hard test

[cmrc91]

i allways thought... why euroncap use dummies??? really? your school doesnt even let you buy a helmet? or maybe something to test it without breaking your neck and spine and pretty much everything...

[999peto999]

What are they saying after the crash?

[tehAmazingYEN]

@999peto999 balot... which is a hardboiled baby fetus chicken egg.....a filipino delicacy and i have no idea why they're saying it

[Benzema3648]

@999peto999 He's say turn off engine.

[4evermetalhead]

PAUSE VIDEO WHEN IT STARTS AND PRESS 3 AFTER THAT JUST KEEP PRESSING 3.....:P

[steelmesh]

Not everyone is American...let other countries do as they please as long as they don't affect us.

[86Ivar]

bet they wanted to impress, "hey look at our impact attenuator, it is so good we dont need a helmet!"

[TheJS412]

So a bunch of you guys got together and thought this was a good idea to test your crash box... as Seth and Amy would say REALLY!!!!?

[burizar]

It`s a good way to know if the impact works! jaja I am jokeing, its very dangerous to realise this kind of tests

[rustlerboi1052]

are you kids fucking mental? no helmet, no hans device...automatic ban from fsae.

[marcheseDS]

@rustlerboi1052 What is a "hans device"?

[rustlerboi1052]

@marcheseDS It's called google buddy. Head and neck support device. You see all professionals wearing them.

[fireworks91]

This team should be banned from formula student.

[bobthemelbournian]

As far as I can see here the only mistake was posting the video on Youtube. But seriously guys, that was a fucking stupid way to crash test your impact attenuator. Thank christ no one was hurt.

[solidworksclub]

โชว์ความเขลาให้โลกรู้กันไป สลดใจกับสิ่งนี้จิงๆ

อาจาร์ยที่ไหนสั่งสอนมาครับนิ ช่วยบอกหน่อย

มีลูกมีหลานจะได้ไม่ให้ไปเรียนด­้วย สลดใจจริงๆ

[TheMagarine]

น่าอายจังคับ

[topeq18]

this car should be in the new FSAE event called Bumper Car event

[Moopcan]

Well, to be positive, at least their frame held up and the driver still has legs

[miky1988]

I asked my faculty advisor to make this test on our car.... ;)

[cook4ian]

helmet would have been a good idea. a real good idea. Hans device too. Good greif.....

[VVeight]

@cook4ian I wouldn't say that. More weight, more Forces to the head :D This video is hilarious!

[marcheseDS]

@cook4ian I was thinking the same thing for 3 seconds, then I realized that helmets protect your head from many things but do more harm than good to the neck. In this case a helmet would get the whiplash on the neck even worse, better not use it (even better is not to do crash tests with a human on board, of coarse)

[eddiec2go]

@marcheseDS on the other hand, a helmet would be good if he had impacted the steering wheel, or if a flying battery smacked into the back of his head.

Great video though, but they probably could have achieved the same result with a crash test dummy and a brick, or, you know, done what everyone else does and tested the crash box when it isn't attached to the car.

[marcheseDS]

@eddiec2go Well, of coarse, crash tests are to be done with dummies...still I will say that hitting the steer it is not likely with such a safety belt on, a neck whiplash on the other side it is. But let's say it is a "don't do it at home" anyway.

[powderballz19]

This has got to be the most idiotic thing I have ever seen an FSAE team do.....And trust me, I've seen so pretty DUMB stuff!!

[Salvy102]

LOLLLL

[motorin25]

good grief! Having see this I wonder if I dare ask how they did in FS comatition.

[schlouey]

If this is a test, what happens if the test fails? Someone dies?

Stuff like this is why insurance rates are so high and prevent the rest of us from having smart, safe fun.

[TOnmu]

เด็กไทย ไม่แพ้ชาติใดในโลก !! สู้ๆครับ

[cutsae]

ผมจากจุฬานะครับ

ของผมใช้วิธีปล่อยจากที่สูงๆ โดยมีมวลถ่วงนะครับ

บ้างก็ใช้เครื่องกดของแล๊ปโยธาน­ะครับ

ปลอดภัยกว่านะครับ

อย่าทำแบบนี้เลย ไม่อยากให้เพื่อนร่วมอุดมการณ์ เกิดเหตุหน้าสลดใจนะครับ

[craigflem87]

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen a bunch of students doing! Look at the drivers head moving on impact and think what his brain was doing! For goodness sake you could have even towed the car up to speed on a winch without any need to have a driver on board! Stupid.

[Fedandonaegui]

From Mexico--- Do not do stupid things, no hagas cosas estupidas!!!!!

[initialkmitl]

อันตรายมากเลยนะครับ....โดยเฉพา­ะคนขับ

โปรดอย่าทดลองการขนแบบนี้อีกเลย­ครับ.....ผมกลัวคนขับคอหัก

ถ้าอยากทดสอบผมขออนุญาติแนะนำให­้ทำการ ทดลองแบบทำลาย เฉพาะตัว impact

[youjutsusha]

guys this is horrifically stupid what on earth made you think this was a good idea??????

[jalsa777]

its the craziest FS video i have ever seen...

n my team just spent 1100 US $ on impact testing...we should have thought about this.....lol

[tylerdurden1253]

No no no this is the only way to test your design when you have giant balls! Kudos to the driver !

[delta426e]

The Formula Student and Formula SAE competitions look very disfavorably on students doing stupid things. Publishing them is even worse. If you are not banned from competition for this you should count yourselves very fortunate. What does your Faculty Advisor have to say about this? You should catch hell for doing something so stupid.

[jwg22]

I understand using physical testing to prove out a design, but there are better, and safer ways to do this without risking a prototype race car.

And WHERE'S THE DRIVERS HELMET! You even KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO CRASH!

[cons199]

Because nobody got hurt we can laugh about it.

For them I hope they attached decent accelerometers and/or video recordings to proof the max 40g deceleration.

Requested videos:

- Judge's response

- Random parts falling of at the endurance due to failure of spaceframe and/or other components damaged in the 'crash'.

[jerrydrx]

dont take this to the competition

[mccoykn]

Oh please, pleaseeeee record the judge's reaction to this and post it up as well.

[CAFIFTY]

Really?! Come on guys, this isn't how it suppose to be done.
