here is a philosophy: reinforce a shoppingtrolley, make it light and rigid, so it would bounce like a tennisball, exclude crumple zones so the driver crawls out like a snake after a crash
Sometimes a smaller car is better then a bigger one, Smart have good stability and this can help you to avoid a crash, in the other side, the SUVs stability is not good...
What you guys fail to see is that you would have spagetti for legs after a crash like that...you'd be lucky to walk again let alone HAVE legs after a collision like that....KEEP THEM OFF THE HIGHWAYS!!!
actually you're brain and other organs would be crushed by the G-forces, more life-threatening than smashed legs. The Smart's chassis is tougher than what a human could sustain in a crash like this. But it's still better to have a stronger car like this, than a weaker car, in so many other varieties of impact.
the only reason small cars are unsafe is because people drive bigger ones. if everyone drove normal sized cars that fit into parking spaces, they wouldnt have to worry about this. or if americans actually drove the speed limit. too bad SUV drivers are 99% shitty drivers.
If you watch the Full video they crash a Vauxhall Corsa into the wall as well and that does not do as well as the smart. I have owned two of these little cars, but thank god i have not crashed one.
how smart is it driving in that rolling coffin...the thing looks like it can just tip right over...if I'm gonna kill myself on the road, I'm gonna have fun doing it.
n 1921, a blind girl accidentally stumbled onto a highway while on her way back from school. Three steps onto the highway she was run over by a truck that kept going and did not stop. Several cars sheared through and scattered her body at high speeds along the road side. The truck driver responsible for the hit and run woke up the next morning with his eyes missing from their sockets. You will wake up with no eyes tomorrow morning, unless you forward this story in a you tube reply.
Yea, but the UK has the Undergroud which means you can get around without having to buy fuel. Different in the states, especially if you aren't in a city with a subway.
course with that mindset, who would disagree. in the end everyone will think that way and we will all hav ea hummer, expedition, or as your name ses, an escalade... then i guess no one is really safe until some one upgrades to a semi... and chaos ensues. i think we should make trucks and cars illegal, give everyone a choice between an Ariel Atom or a Hyabusa. youve got to be a complete fool to get in a crash and its fuel efficient, still fast, still fun.
Go ahead, whatever floats yer boat, but please, when gas hit $4 a gallon, dont whine like a little three year old about how much it costs to fill the tank. I heard this from a whiny H2 owner while gassing up when gas was $3.60 a gallon here. :-)
I think a motorbike at that speed and against that wall wouldn't have much damage... but just like with the smart, the distance to slow down from 70 Mph to 0 is too short... (because of the distance between the driver and the front of the car) so even with 10 airbags it wouldn't make it safer... the negative acceleration is too strong for human bodie... it's jus physics...
how stupid are you?? a motorbike would be obliterated! of course there is a high g-load shock from that kind of deacceleration, but people have survived crashing at that speed - and doing worse to their car!! the distance from the front of the car doesnt have alot to do with crash safety. Compare a BMW 3 series in a crash to a Peugeot 807 - the 807 scores 5 stars in ncap vs. 1.5 for the 3 series.. Get your facts straight before talking shit
Notice that they had the barrier at an angle so the force would have an escape route. Let's see the results if the wall is squarely in front of the crash.
I'm still impressed though. Also, why is the hood open on the Honda control car??
This car scares the PANTS off Detroit and are using every possible claim, including crash safety, to prevent it coming here, after all, you can park 6 of these in the space of H1 Hummer and still get 50mpg.
So, any guess as to who use to own Smart or maybe it was think! Im almost sure it doesn't scare anyone. If people like them then others will make similar cars.
This Noddy car should only be allowed on roads where other Noddy cars drive.
