Crash Test 2002-2006 BMW Mini Cooper (Frontal Offset) IIHS

[KillerT3CH]

The dummies head fuckin missed the air bag ! Fuck it I'm getting rid of my mini

[makinmesmile96]

@KillerT3CH are you planning on selling it anytime soon? if so i may know someone interested....inbox me if u want

[tyler8505]

as good as a mini coopers handeling is.....it could easily avoid a crash like that

[aaronpapanos]

You may survive, but your dignity wont.

[mmooooooo00s]

I am ready to do this test myself, I am really ready for me to safety I hope I am a volunteer safety testing company to take care of this speech and I am in full mental

[italianshnoz1993]

@mmooooooo00s you sure you havent already been crashed a few times?

[Chaif15Let]

Wow, that car actually did pretty good.

[Gamefan396]

he was looking out of the wrong window. He was looking out the back window and then CRASH!

[jonas4life5]

borin as shit

[Myuzaki]

YOU BIG DUMMY!

lol.. sorry couldnt resist..

[supercooled]

Do Minis have knee curtains bags?  I'm thinking of getting the Ford Fiesta and they have that. If I get a Mini, it would most certainly be an 03-06 because I am buying used.

[ecampo5]

@supercooled they do. but if you passionately prefer a mini go for it. if you get an auto your going to end up replace the transmission for another auto and spend 7Gs. if you go standard and if you switch the transmission fluid once a year the gearbox will last you for apprx 90,000 miles (maybe a bit more) leaving you to spend to purchase a GETRAG transmission (S-type minis have em) which is apprx 4Gs to buy and install. its a problematic car. Go S for less prblms. fix up th chasis 1st too.

[MICHELSMOOS]

I GOING DEAD IN CAR ENGLISK BAD 

[Neroscot]

It's like the old minis, Bad !

[NYGMENfan1]

i survived a 73 mph crash in a 1999 malibu so i think this guy is alive still

[warguy2499]

the thing is do they make a test with something moving at it?????? cuz what about a mini going 50-90 mph...what about that and a semi going maybe going 50-70 mph.....the MINI is gonna get a lot more force...won't it????

[jkjkJess]

They have done those tests too, I believe, and one can't give more force than the other. The force is equal but the momentum is different which is what causes more damage.

[warguy2499]

thanx. the physics are confusing.lol

[bLOVEDxx]

my daddy just bought my twin sister and i mini coopers for our sweet sixteen, my mini is a gold convertable with black stripes, and hers is a pearly white convertable with black stripes. It is perfect for living in california :D

[rojas2284]

LOL

[sfc7267]

both you and your sister suck

[bLOVEDxx]

if you say so.. :/

[triggerhappybullets]

@bLOVEDxx wow what a spoild brat. why would you parents waste their hard earned cash for a car for you.

[bLOVEDxx]

@triggerhappybullets Because they sincerely care about their parenting and take notice to the fact that it is their responsablity to care for us for the period of time when they are raising us. Jealous much?

[triggerhappybullets]

@bLOVEDxx well, that means that they wont have you work for it. they will just give you it, that just means that your lazy and have to rely on your parents to get you a car

[dude012]

WAT..the windshield goes untouched but you would need and ENTIRE new front end?!?!?!....crazy

[mongoosecage]

naw i think thats totalled

[policeman1313]

If such crash occurs, your car is totaled and you need to buy a new one, not just a new front end. ;P

[xmagiegirlx]

Well, you would need a new front end for any car with that kind of impact. Personally, I happen to think it's good that the windshield stays intact; I wouldn't want pointy shards of glass flying at my face at high speeds.

[hankmiestro]

yea pretty good for a small car, still wouldnt wanna be in one for a crash tho.

[mikel1982]

i survived no problem 20kCAD damage that car saved my life, stupid ice.

[bigman95impala]

guy needs to check his eyes he could have totally avoided this collision

[jaboyle]

haha

[Lyee075]

Just drive carefully people : if you get involved collision while you are driving over 80km or even on the highway, it doesn't matter what car you are driving and how good a crash profmance it had shown, the chance of survival would be nil.

[Axelga2112]

I think it looked kind of fatal.

[Pyroscopy]

actually not bad for a small car...the head just looks brutal cause its such a small car and theres more rotation because of it

[iluvfionaleggate]

brutal

[jebernauer]

TAKE NOTE: The windshield didn't even crack. This is why I love my Mini!!!

[Malicegrrl]

I was t-boned in April... my (driver side) door looked like it was opened up with a can opener and I was spun 360, but I walked away. MINI's RULE!!

[logosthedestroyer]

Grammar correction: "Minis"

[andystout64]

Obviously youre not a MINI owner. Look up any car search for MINI and that's how it's spelled. So...YOURE WRONG logosthedestroyer. FYI

[logosthedestroyer]

Oh well someone did.. What did I say anyway? I can't remember. I think I might have been correcting someone's grammar.

[thecosgrove]

just to clear this up, the plural of mini is mini not minis and certainly not mini's. Furthermore logothedestroyer you were attempting to correct an issue of punctuation not grammar.

[viyau]

id feel safer in this car than a mercedes

[DaviTrovon]

I guess th eairbag failed. In a real situation someone would broke the neck.

[ericstranne]

did the airbag fail?

[K3N7CR1P3]

0:25

[EmeraldJEM710]

Actually, the airbag did what's it's suppose to do. It's suppose to act as a cushion once the head strikes it. If it didn't let air out, it'll be like your head hitting a rock and completely loose it's purpose. If you're talking about the violent head movement after impact, that will happen in any car. If you were kept completely immobile, you would absorb more engergy from the impact. To the untrained eye, this looks horrific. But cars are made to break apart and the Mini held up very well.

[joertide]

well it looks like the dummy hit the head on the door pretty hard with neck snapping force. some airbag huh.

[SuckMyMuffler]

at 0:50 it looks like kermit the frog after someone punched the hell out of him lol

[kdforlife]

HAHAHAHA!

[grenadier86]

good!

[qwertylockley]

'Good'

[spoonification]

no no i believe its a real person

[hawkwind999]

is it a dummy???

[ButterMyNuts]

nah dude its ya mum

[rainstormaeroponics]

shame crash test are done at 33mph

his head hits the door still

air bag improvement me thinks

[Ryantravisaol]

The IIHS and NCAP do this test at 40mph not 33mph.

[19movielover95]

it´s a very nice and safe car...

[hrthrhs]

It bounced off like a toy car

[TTRzermatt]

would you rather it bounced off hardly damaged than tried to bash the wall down?

[hrthrhs]

yeah, an aggressive mini.

[CrapolaLipGuy]

Damn, did you see that? That dummy almost got jammed between the steering wheel and the door!

They still seem like flying coffins to me.

[sexyboi142]

wow seems pretty safe to me no not really

[DeviantxRaven]

The tire shriek sounded like a dog yelping. ^^

[englert23]

NOOOOOOO! Poor old mini cooper!

P.S. I lvoe mini coopers~!

[jupitertronic]

Geez, I hope I never wreck in mine. :(

[BruteCommando]

Dummy got fucked up !!

[Volvodriver4life]

ow! talk about wip-lash

[AG0525]

Clearly shows, how badly designed airbag can ruin pretty safe car ;(.

I hope they redesigned airbag.

[raphaeme]

sure

[leccate]

:-)

[scottiedoesntno]

the front looks like a face and someone has just given it a right hook

[leccate]

1/2(mv^2)

mass =1048kg

speed= 65km/h (crash test speed)= 18,5 m/s

1/2(1048*18,5^2)= 179,339 kN(kiloNewton)

These is about the K energy at crash moment, calculating the energy between the body and the security belt u can easily note the impressive pression which is submitted the body...is an impressive effort for the rib cage

[meldon100]

i like the physics....:)

[leccate]

:-)

[DeStryke51]

a mini hitting you at 65km/h is equivalent to 179,339,000 Apples hitting you at 65km/h in that case lol

[leccate]

Do the same for mosquito please LoL

[dimayatsenko]

ROFL

[yido4life83]

lol well at least the owner of a new mini can go and buy another, where as if that was the old mini the driver would be F*****

[spiralisedcat]

thats what happens to vehicles claiming to be mini's,1 down few million to go :D

[Ballazs]

WoW that dummy was dancing in there.

[aka4god]

Damn, severe injuries.

[DeStryke51]

body's a bit too rigid? gives like a whiplash to the neck

[isezgz]

that wasnt bad.. in fact minis are very safe, much more so than old f150s for example..

[cokemachine]

Safe? the dummies head hit the door paneling.

That crash would cause severe injury.

[gregpr]

It's because of the structure of the dummie. Human body will not move like that in a similar situation.

[Terminchiator]

the dummy is humanoid, same bones end even faked organs, it will move exactly like that

[crazyfooInc]

have you watched any other crash tests? This is how most would react if they hit the corner of a wall.

[ashkanplang]

neck is broken! sudden death!

[EA11RDrift]

Oi!

Not much of a crush zone, that...

[erwin1996]

R.I.P

mister dummy

born:04-04-08

death:05-04-08

lol

[towers007]

R.I.P mr dummy :P haha

[hotmail808]

Good One! Loves it.

[zz0zz0]

driver face!!!!!

[sonersoylu]

neck is broken! sudden death!

[HalloweenMask92]

totalled...

[5H1TH4BB1T]

4 a mini by BMW ..... B-A-D spells bad

[PkAndFrForLife]

a julty n pianfull experiance!!!!

[landstrasse36]

but this is a frontal impact.....

[firedemon101]

right they don't test with the glass up on frontal impacts only on side impacts the windows are placed

[zeeyeezone]

The window was open on the driver's side so you fail to see the severity of the impact of the dummy's head on the glass! So this test is below standard and not reliable!

[landstrasse36]

WTF, they all do that moron.

[zeeyeezone]

WTFx2. so you buy that dumbass!

[landstrasse36]

Lean to write in proper English, your response makes no sense. All of the offset tests have the window open.

[firedemon101]

it is normally with side impacts the glass is placed up

[Moose9105]

@firedemon101

That is how people speak and spell in America today.....might as well get used to it.

[ILikeVeedeos]

YA! "Lean" to write in proper English!!!

[landstrasse36]

There is a difference between typing errors and grammatical errors.

[Moose9105]

@landstrasse36

That is how people speak & spell now adays.

[666mastershake666]

@landstrasse36 lean to write?

[toyotas2006]

all the tests are done the same, so you can see the dummy's reaction.

you aren't for real.

[Ganbala]

impress ! for this size of car protec verygod.

[ramblingvine]

Does it look like the seatbelt didn't work very well? The dummy's head rolled off of the bag and hit the door really hard - I thought it looked like a nasty head injury.

[zeeyeezone]

The collar bone could have been broken thrusting backward upon the impact even with the cushion of the airbag! It's horrifying!

[lukeneves]

i wonder if it was that good, look at the dummies neck, he didn't hit the airbag as he was supposed to.

[KiNidoz]

yeah n that was fun loll

[bfromhold]

Wow, how fast was that MINI going?

[firedemon101]

64 k.p.h

[Stangfan88]

lol pause at 48sec looks like rocky after gettin hit.

[mralpi]

Ahahahahah!!

[yomomasface]

thats my moms favorite car and i can tell why!

[Chickenlool]

not so bad.

[Stefozzt96]

The car reacted so fast to the crash

[andrew7891]

poor MINI

[alexkvaskov]

That's safe. But dummy kinematics are poor. Look at how the head whips around.

[plast87]

it's hard to manage good dummy kinematics with such a small crumple zone.

[alexkvaskov]

So that's quite an acheivement for the Mini to safe despite sucha small hood :)
