[homelifehome]

I use to own this car really safe hit a SUV at 60 MPH had seetbelt on only a cut leg

[RogerHerhard]

is that garfield

[liveAk47]

Russia FOREVER

[liveAk47]

че вы все тут накарякали?

[qblp]

@liveAk47 а ты хочешь чтобы изначально англоязычный сайт был переполнен русским языком?

[liveAk47]

@qblp да 

[qblp]

@liveAk47 тебе на rutube.. или хотя-бы на русские видео, а здесь тебе не рады.

[liveAk47]

@qblp рады будут ,если захочу

[qblp]

@liveAk47 это уж точно не от тебя зависит

[liveAk47]

@qblp Почему

[qblp]

@liveAk47 даже у знаменитых людей заслуживающих уважение есть много ненавистников а ты вообще всего лишь жалкая единица толпы как и все... с какой стати тебе должны быть рады здесь если ты ничего полезного не сделаешь а как и все родился, вырос, отдашь физический труд за деньги на которые сможешь существовать, будешь думать что крут, оставишь такое же бесполезное потомство и отправишься на тот свет... если тебе тут должны быть рады то и всем и каждому в этом мире...

[piercen10]

the end was really cheesy...

[cs028]

backlit glass blocks! classy!! lol

[redmastif01]

yeah thats why they make cars that crumple a little before stopping to make deceleration less painful.

[G1NZOU]

@redmastif01 Exactly, although in engineering speak there's no such thing as deceleration, it's all acceleration.

[redmastif01]

@G1NZOU exatcly: acceleration opposite the direction the object is traveling

[KamilGratis]

lol zaje biste

[GTAcrazyfan12]

crash tests with real ppl???holy shit

[whattheheck1000]

they could have taken out the "soft sell" part around 5:15 - i think the crashes gave a better point. WEAR YOUR F***IN BELT!!!!

[chrisbaker121924]

Now your safe to have an enormus accident little child in the back of a pick up... since uve buckled up low and tight... :|

[chrisbaker121924]

The crash test at 4.00 in the mercedes 118 or 108?? is pretty intense!!! good strong car :P

[whattheheck1000]

W 108, 1965-1972. I'd never crash a 1960s car :) Maybe a 2005+ car.

[corey4406]

"safety features, like padded dashes" haha

[AmayaYuukuno]

There was a Darwin Award to a guy a few years back. He was against putting on seatbelts, and died when flung out of the car in an accident.

I must say, those "tests" almost seemed worse than many crashes that actually happen.

[guilhermerrrr]

OMFG !! ARE THEY IDIOTS??? jhahaahahahahahahahah 3:35

[DukeFilmsInc]

The voice of the dummy in the passenger is Lorenzo Music. He was the voice of Garfield in the 1980's animated series :p

[VideoJoeYo]

76gremlinguy, you are definitely a dummy. Your judgment cracks me up!

[zenith828]

1:04

Actually it was the carbon fiber body

[CityandcountyofSF]

OMG pass me my blue pastel eyeliner and my Vuarnet sunglasses Buffy!!

[BurberryShades]

Wow. Testing out those safety belts in Europe must have been quite the job.

[anassgame]

The Science technologie its great!!!!!!!

[TurboRanger96]

try ramming you're head into the metal dashboards of the pre 1960's cars and you will wish you were ramming your head into the hard plastic of your 80's car!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whattheheck1000]

@TurboRanger96

1950s car - Metal - you're dead.

1980s car - Hard plastic - you're hurt.

2000s car - Air bags - you're okay.

[G1NZOU]

@whattheheck1000 Makes me worried in my 1967 car.

[whattheheck1000]

@G1NZOU Drive safely and you'll likely be fine.

[G1NZOU]

@whattheheck1000 I will, scientists say you drive more carefully in a car you don't feel safe in anyway so it should keep me on my toes.

I think I'll upgrade the brakes to modern ones though, I wouldn't want to have them fail on me.

[az6700]

hahaha is funny

[whattheheck1000]

I use a seatbelt if I'm in a car at all, even just sitting in the garage.

[xXdigitalX]

Lol at 4:06-4:08 How that guy didn't die from whiplash is beyond me...

Also liked the bit that cars have "modern safety features" like padded dashes WTF!? I had a 90' Park Avenue similar to the first car shown crashing and the dash was hard as hell

[bixxius]

OMG i would have never tested safety belts xD

[cool12291]

i was born in 91...how come it seems like ive seen the talking dummies before

[jmiller006]

yeah, they were def in something else...i was born in 88, but i def dont think im remember ads from when i was under a year old.

[Pavilion615]

So was I, I'm pretty sure they showed it to us in drivers ed.

[shattered79]

lol aahhhhhhh the 80's glad that 10 years is over

[panictactics]

decade of shame

[whattheheck1000]

9 years. 1980 is not really an "80s" year.

[jakethegreatable]

yes it is

[whattheheck1000]

Not culturally. On the calendar it is, but the "80s" as is thought of by the mainstream was more of 1982-1992. 1980 was in the 80s technically, but it is often identified as having more "70s" trends.

[volvo145]

how god damn stuåid can ypu be when yoou dont put on your belt, really.... I hear you ahve ltos of problems in america even nowadays with people dont buckling up.

Fucking idiots.

[sirmasterpimp]

I remember seeing this up until 1992 or so......those talking crash dummies use to weird me out though

[ETBzocka]

whos is that crashing at 1 minute?

[whattheheck1000]

Some 1980s race car?

[whattheheck1000]

Actually a 1982 CART car with Dick Simon as driver. The crash was on August 29, 1982.

[laserturbo90]

OMG...they showed us this in drivers ed...and i took that class 3 years ago!

[Toni7859]

@laserturbo90 - the 80s live on! :)

[ReventonF22]

LOL 3:19 The kid does the matrix over his dad! XD

[brandonya1990]

haha cool commercial. its funny as hell

[Artyfil]

then what's gonna hold your upper body down in a crash?

[DamnStraightM35A2]

thin air LOL, but look at some of these 3pt seat belts, my dad has a '78 Camaro and it has 3pt. belts but the damn things don't have any tensioners so whats the point of the upper part of the belt?, that's what I was referring to.

[Artyfil]

really? my '94 Jimmy doesn't seem to have tensioners (seatbelts don't lock when you yank on them), but when you slam on the brakes or get in an accident they lock up. Maybe your camaro did the same?

[ArgHamster]

That´s my problem with reasoning for total individual freedom when it comes to things like public safety. "Public" is the hey word because we are never alone on the roads when we go for a ride. It´s an organized chaos.

[ArgHamster]

If two cars hit eachother at 100km/h the chances of leaving the wrecks with just bruises are low.

A small fairly modern car are often better than an old larger one but like you said in a bad accident that could be a theoretical question.

A practical question to your idea however is if you carpool with someone who´s not wearing a seatbelt or the other way around and you have an accident. Who´s responsible if one is thrown around the car and ends up injuring or killing the other passengers?

[ArgHamster]

That´s an interesting point. The media rarely mentions if a person was useing the seatbelt. But in those cases where they do and also shows pictures and descriptions of the accident the crash happened at very high speeds and/or against other speeding cars, trucks or rocks that the chances of survival were very slim despite impactzones, air-bags and seatbelts.

[76gremlinguy]

i guess i'm a dummy, cause the seat belt laws are a big pile of BULL$#!+ and it violates my right to choose. i guess before long our flag will have a star, and sickle.

[baileys60]

I would imagine it will be you splatterd all over the road after you went through the windscreen before the soviet flag is raised. Think of what your saying...!

[76gremlinguy]

that may be true, but it just burns me to the core, that sooo much is wrong with our system that needs to be focused on, and they have to waste time and our money to pass stupid laws like this one, yet our taxes are keeping people like Charles Manson alive in jail, when they could have given that useless waste of a soul the electric chair back in the 60's. I can't understand what they get out of having that control over us, so really, I ask What next. Are they gonna take our classic cars away

[baileys60]

ahhh I see the issue you are chipping away at. Frankly thats a matter for the courts to decide. Don't let it do your nut to much mate.

[76gremlinguy]

I try not to let it get to me, but I tend to lean ttowards the small cars, and if the wreck is very sevier, then being confined in my car is just going to insure my death, with no chance at all being thrown from my car. Notice how you never hear the news say that people wearing their seatbelts that are killed in a wreck "The victim was wearing his/her seat belt"? No, they say "The driver/passenger was killed" BUT! DON'T wear a seat belt, the story will be followed by a lesson on seat belt safety

[76gremlinguy]

...and the courts are where the system is messed up. Do you think they really care about you, are the going to all funerals of victims killed that were wearing their seat belts?...I think it's just about revenue, and control

[leeanator]

Seat belts work...you shoudn't need to choose. You make it sound like communism or socalism... which aren't totally bad systems. They work very well in some countrys. Charitys are distrubute wealth...

[76gremlinguy]

True seatbelts work, but there has also been studies that seatbelts along w/airbags can be more dangerous than belts, or bags alone. I came up with that theory years before I saw it on the news. (wish I'd said something) The airbag is designed to catch you like a ball glove, so when the belt stop at it's limit, here comes a 200mph slap in the face. OUCH! (had it happen). but really, making laws to wear belts?, fingerprint for drivers license? What's next? Too much control to be called free

[ArgHamster]

It´s common knowledge that airbags are to be used with belts. Hitting just an airbag will probably break your neck. It has to be fully inflated just to be used. Safety features are designed to function within speed limits. Drive into a rock at 150km/h and it´s just a question what kills you. You might get lucky and be thrown out and land in United Inflatable Castles backyard sale.

[ArgHamster]

Idividual freedom is an important thing. But with your reasoning you would also have to accept the fact that other private citizens, government and insurance should be able to use the same reasoning. If you were to be injured or handicaped in an accident (even one where you isn´t responsible) because you didn´t wear a belt. They could simply say "No fucking money for a wheelchair to him, it was his choice not to wear a belt."

[76gremlinguy]

I can understand that there are many angles to look at this, but to make it LAW "You Have To Do This" to me is just wrong. I prefer to drive small cars myself, which in a really bad wreck the cance of survival is slim. Wearing a seatbelt in this event would just insure my death. The really sad thing about it all, is that the news wouldn't say a damn thing that the person killed was wearing his seatbelt. Just "The driver was killed", but you'd damn sure hear it if not wearing one.

[CNiallDeMencha]

LMAO, its ironic that GM called seatbelts a waste of money when they first came out.

[starionorscott]

that was ford.

[Aturuxo32]

gilipollas callate la boquita anda

[aramendi]

Yeah!!!Funny oldie! ...we are dummies, we don't wear safety belts, Larry, you really know how to build a guy, Hit it!!hehehe

[Tidersexual]

lol, I like the intro

[sanchorb]

Ha, haaaa...uncle Joey is the host of this segment, ha, haaa...Look at that good old Mercedes, how well it does on the crash.

[volvomantom]

We'll all be laughing at you when you get into a head-on and go flying through the windscreen.

[fordcontour]

That's funny that they used a Ford Futura as the intro to a GM movie

[TjallingProductions]

omg! they showed me this in Drivers ed!!

[fontheking3]

Great video . I always use my seatbelt even if it`s just very short journey . I was saved by it once.

[tannalv]

Stupid video. I only use seatbelt if I have to go far. No point in it otherwise.

[mcfly0570]

when you have to go only a couple of miles from your place... what happens if a drunk guy comes across you, fast, and hits you? you think you'll be fine "because you didn't have to go far"?

In my job, I see accidents every day, and most are not in places where people drive fast, like highways. They happen mostly in the cities where you come across people who "don't have to go far"

[whattheheck1000]

I only use my seatbelt if I'm in a vehicle at all, no matter if it's a 582 inch or 582 mile trip.

[becky334]

iam working with the met police and ive seen a lots of horrible accidents with no restraind driver.

[andronickvll]

Nice plasma TV at 5.20 :D cool

[lepivert]

LOL, the BMW in the tree !

[krille470t]

nice music in the last!

[commanderofwar]

can they crash test a m1a2 army tank with reinforced armor? or will that just rip right past the wall

[balivyta]

they tested on people :D

[kingspunkbubble]

One of the dummies sounds like Homer Simpson. Maybe he got fed up with doing a voice-over for a dummy and got a job doing a voice over for, a dummy.

[GMminivans9968]

Sent what?

[GMminivans9968]

Okay, sure.

[GMminivans9968]

Give me the directions!

[slovakmath]

4:05 omfg that was hard!

[DrRodMunch]

The start of the video says General Motors on it.

[streetvan1]

It's a GM propoganda film, dumbass.

Still, check out the car at 4:00 :)

[streetvan1]

What's proof of what now?

[streetvan1]

HUH? How?

[streetvan1]

Riiiiight. Ok, nevermind. I'm sure that GM would show their product in an honest light, no matter what, because that's what large corporations do. Honesty is number one, self promotion is waaay down the list. Yu huh.

[D4ndi]

Well, your wrong :P

[jamesfrancis5]

isnt that one dummy bill murrary or the voice of garfield?

[NortierNR]

lol, garfield's voice

[zxcvbad]

luv 80's yayaya

[flatground900]

good video

[rayban5016]

Nice sweater! lol

[smartestinUSA]

was the car a car?

Was the car damaged?

[Tom741]

no,the car was in first class condition after the srash.

[whattheheck1000]

wtf's a srash?

[Tom741]

i mastaked it for crash,

no,the car was in first class condition after the crash

[smartestinUSA]

no it was wrecked. Can you not see that

[odelgado78]

miss the 80's :(

[pigjamelectric]

4:06 - Think the guy knew what he was in for?

Mercedes scientist: Du must ein auto at 120 km in oder auto krashen.

Driver : uh, I don't think this is what I signed up for...

Mercedes scientist: DU MUST CONTINUE MIT DIE EXPERIMENT!!!!

[SXI1972]

lol he nearly stuck the nut in the steering wheel. ha ha love your interpretation

[knobcheese69]

2:36 - P4WN3D! I lovw how they fly back after they hit the dash.

[nofgood]

lolololol

[jonnda]

4:03 NO! Don't crash that classy car!... damn.

oh well back to the film.

[nofgood]

lol,.. real live crach dummys,.. love the 80s :)

[jonnda]

Yeah and one of them sounds like Garfield. ^_^

[SXI1972]

it is the voice of garfield.

the guys name is lorenzo music weird name tho

[88Buick225]

I noticed that too!

[Kreepiting67]

I know somebody that was in a crash and they said if he was wearing a seatbelt, he would have gotten killed. I have to wear a seatbelt because I slide everywhere whenever I make a turn because I have the leather seats. I would have gotten cloth seats to help prevent that sliding but, they are not heated.

[mrsngamegbu]

in most accidents if you dont wear the belt you fly out from the car and die for sure...i have read about several accidents where ppl died because they didnt wear the belt.

[jackjohns01]

First, learn proper English! Second, Toyota is not number one alone, they have the same number as GM. Third, some of the cars you named are not available in the US. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have some of the most popular sedans; however when it comes to SUVs, and Trucks, American brand still has the edge. Finally, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are made in the states. It's noteworthy to mention that many of the "Japanese" cars are built in cooperation with General Motors (Suzuki, Subaru, and Toyota)

[Treycq]

I do remember two things we built that were absolutely amazing. Then we put them in an airplane and dropped them on your shitty country.

[pj8guy]

there are actualy 3 crashes

the first 2 crashes and you internal organs moving to fast is the 3 crash

[ebuhman29]

Yup wear seatbelts and you will never ever die. It's funny, "saved lives" eventually die. Are they really saved? If in a crash you survive that particular incident.

[ebuhman29]

The best saftey feature is stay alert and don't hist stuff.

[coolboy454]

hmm maby if they had AIR BAGS!!!

[pj8guy]

just watch 3:18

the back guy is like "sup" to the other guy upside down

[poopoomum]

how much did they get payed

[djrionblack]

hey man this is great

[ludocrat]

I expected him to say "Hi, I'm Troy McClure..." at the start!

Great stuff.

[wydaniu]

Yea....when you get sick do not use any drug just keep the faith....well I'm so sorry of you.

[sgtcht92]

lol

[deadredeyes]

The guy who did the voice for that one Crash Test Dummy also did the voice for Garfield and Peter Venkman on The Ghostbusters cartoon show.

[1987ian]

WOW! NO SEATBELTS

[1972volkswagen]

the talking and singing dummies were disturbing...

[followtheraver]

rofl :D is there a movie about psycho killer crash test dummies? it might be scary shit

[fokofpolisiekar07]

Why does the one crash test dummy sound like Garfield?

[sk8stevenbrock1]

THAT GUY IS A FAG!!!

[LatteLiberal]

Unfair liberal crash safety, fuel economy laws and unions have resulted in increased costs which have made American cars uncompetitive, unaffordable, unprofitable and undesireable. Lets go back to free economics and let the market decide who should win. Voluntary corporate changes are always more manageable and fair than government mandated changes. Vote NO to loss. Vote YES to jobs.

[tastyorange]

you're joking... right?

[Picquet]

yep, and then when the ppl closest to you die in unsafe cars, who will you whine to then?

[LatteLiberal]

When people close to my have died in unsafe cars I didn't blame it on somebody else. I didn't blame it on automakers. I didn't blame it on politics. I took personal responsibility and assumed it was GOD who decided to take them. When you have faith in the Lord you don't need seatbelts.

[MizzPrincezz]

But God gives you a brain to think and wear seatbelts. That was the dumbest shit I've heard in a long time.

[maddog24637]

for a "latte liberal" you sound just like ron paul

[whattheheck1000]

He sounds like a 4-year-old AND Ron Paul!

[landongendur]

Wow, that Oldsmobile 98 and Pontiac Grand AM did pretty well in the crashes. I guess that's because cars today hit offset barriers (only about 40% of the car's frontal portion is impacted) and its a much tougher test than hitting a wall with the full front of the car.

[DEEJAYBELL1976]

keiwata262

older cars had a rubber seal holding the windowscreen in

new cars windscreens are bonded in
