After a crash we repair asap

[SteveBlues87]

Question is... How many times can it be crashed into before it becomes weak and dangerous? Not to mention, if it does break, sharp bits of wood arn't exactly a nice thing to have shoot through the air at people.

[MrSpike13]

this is why ive stopped using public transport

[gertgertgert18]

de vangrail van houd heeft de deze stadsbus van koers gewijzigd.

[quickwim]

Dat doen ze dus met die oude zuid-oosters.

[Urstupidumbass]

Very very expensive to build of course, And why take risks of building these things when there is a very low chance of it being in use (crash)

[lavidaspeligrosa]

Yep, this in Holland

[bestamerica]

'

how come this bus did not use a BRAKE on

[Urstupidumbass]

@bestamerica Idiot, G Force. There would be no accidents if cars halted instantly...

[acoow]

The most dangerous roads to travel on are the "safe" roads.

[pavelsh75]

wow

[Synetearis]

zonde van die bus... :(

[NinjaPr00]

No wonder it crashed. There was no driver

[HighImNiick]

i was in the back seat...

[GTA4Cobra11]

houten vangrail............sounds like vehicle names in Just Cause :DDDD

[cougarsstudios]

Was this testing the bus or the rail? I guess they both did ok, The rail did better.

[lokillo96lokeando]

0:18 let´s kill to the camera man!!!!

[carboy112]

mooie oude bus :)

[hunzala92]

wow! and the flexibility in the wood can also mean less damage to the vehicle!

thanks for posting...

[MrDime1000]

hop on kids, were going on a ride of your lifes!

[slapoutz]

@MrDime1000 the last ride of your lives lol

GUARDRAIL 1 - BUS 0

[haydensrollercoaster]

ill never underaprreaceate the power of a wooden gaurd rail

[MrGS1997]

Bus ok? =,(

[chromiumtrioxide]

Looks like an effective barrier -- but very, very expensive to build!

[inspiredinnovations]

It is more expensive to build, yes. But, in use it can save a lot of money because costs for repair are much less. It depends on the location of course, but in the Netherlands, overall lifecycle costs are expected to be lower.

Also this was the first ever version of the design. Last month an optimized version has succesfully been tested! No video's yet. Hope to add them later.

[ArticMuse]

@inspiredinnovations Gonna be cheaper in the tropics and south east asia.

[Tecnobingo]

@chromiumtrioxide mybe is worth to evaluate if it is more expensive to build a good guardrail or to take care of injured people.

[TimeForTomCraig]

it's like something out of a guy ritchie movie :D

[esheep4]

wow its like speed

[norwayfinland]

en daar ging weer en oude vad bus omg zonde dood zonde

[deathstardisco]

I've always wondered how a city bus would fare in an accident, and there's few videos available to look at about this. However, considering this old bus came off quite well, they look like they can take more of a beating than I previously thought. One thing though - that back row of seats.......

[wooforsam]

A few months ago in my town, a Corsa hit a bus head-first coming round a corner. The corsa was estimated to be doing 64mph and was written off, the occupants were killed. The bus, an N-reg Dennis Dart doing 42mph at the time of the crash, was driven back to the depot to have the front beaten back into shape.

They can take a fucking good thrashing.

[jaffacake1578]

looks like a safe bus...if it has 3 point seatbelts and a driver airbag then it would be evn more fab!

[SonOfRDGear]

yeah it took it like a champ

[jaffacake1578]

uh huh...

[Gerrit22041992]

and the light is still flashing...

[tsohmas]

haha i didnt even notice that

[inspiredinnovations]

but the rail is pretty ok though. have you seen the top view?! (you can look at 'more from inspiredinnovations' to find it)

[inspiredinnovations]

..which is a good thing if u were in the bus!

[thomasduff09]

damn, i think the rail probly got more fucked than the bus

[WhoWantsToKnow81]

Schools out... for crash testing the bus?

[carboy112]

die bus deed het best goed! ik wed dat iedereen in die bus het zou overleven!!!

[jackjohns01]

Guard rails and crumple zones are suppose to be fluid and observe the crash. If they are both tough and none fluid the occupant feel that crash and get hurt.

[inspiredinnovations]

Have you seen the film from top view yet? (search for wooden guardrail)

It shows how fluid this crash actually is (as far as a crash can be fluid ;)

[sand0x]

hahaha lol leuk nog meer?

[TBODproduction]

pretty cool. old buses like this one are very safe!

antil...

[sZfedo]

DAF MB200?

[inspiredinnovations]

It's a 1975 model of Den Oudsten-Volvo

[sZfedo]

Thx ;) its very similar to a DAF ;)

[norm360X]

Don't let the bus go below 50mph!

[shadow324]

çom di spsdnazçecka sdow yweçnââhj skojmnxçieas. ^^

[JerimiahHoundstooth]

man I guess flying down the freeway talking on my cell phone isnt so dangerous.

[inspiredinnovations]

don't try this at home :-)
