The Importance of Rear-Facing: Version 2

And mainly because to many people are just to plain ignorant to care! Half of the people I told about this and explained why I do it with my kids, just looked at me and said, well I grew up with no car seat at all and I am fine, so what is the big deal?? (First of all most of them did have seats and just do not remember them!)

hmm, nope pretty sure I was just reading your commentary.. but if you want to think of me as an idiot that's fine.. I don't respect your opinion anyway.

You really think TAPE would hold the head in place at that velocity. You're an idiot!

Yes, and if you do some simple searching around the internet, Such as "100 mile per hour tape" you will see that um. Yep it can be cut into smaller strips and um yep it's pretty strong. But then again, you have to be able to think for yourself versus being told how to think... Be careful whom you call an idiot as you might be looking in a reflective surface.

Take the TAPE off the DUMMY's head on the rear facing event so we can see what really happens to the DUMMY and tighten up the Seatbelt on the forward facing one. Who ever tested this should be fired for not allowing people to see what really happens in an Apples to Apples comparison.

I'm pretty sure this is addressed in earlier comments, but that isn't TAPE on the dummy's head in the rear-facing video. It is a sensor for head movement and would allow movement of the dummy's head if there were any.

There's so much wrong with your logic. First, that's the amount of movement you will see in a crash when the seat belt is as tight as it can possibly be upon installation. Seat belts are designed to stretch to reduce the amount of impact the body endures. The seat belt absorbs part of the crash impact by being flexible.

And do you really think a piece of tape would prevent the head from moving in an impact like that?? If so, maybe they need to just start selling that tape instead of car seats!

First off I am not an advocate of NOT using rear facing seats, however if you watch the video again, you can see the head POP back from the so called SENSOR. And FYI, I personally know of tape that I used in the military that is strong enough to use as a Seat Belt.  We called it 100 MPH tape cause it was STRONG. In the video look at the chin. it pops up in a downard motion. Watch the video again and be honest. Again, I think they need to use a different type of sensor not TAPE.

you wrote the same dumb ass comment on the other video...

Ok since you appear to be vastly more intelligent then the rest of us out here. Oh yea. I do testing for a LIVING so I kinda know a little about this. Why does the video look so different, why are the angles of the cameras different. ......
Again, I am not against rear facing car seats, i would simply love to see a test that appears to have the same METRICS used in it. While they may be exactly the same from a CAMERAs POV it appears different.
