Human inside completely intact. If only slightly... dead.

The g-forces experienced in a crash of this type are very quickly gone, most damage from g-force is experienced during prolonged exposure and not from a momentary spike. I -could- point you to the wikepedia entry on g-forces, but I'm sure you have a vastly superior intelligence and will be able to tell me that wikipedia is not 100% all the time. Regardless, humans regularly survive fairly high g-forces from accidents of varying natures, so tell me where it is that I'm ignorant?

Or watch the full version of this video, where it says the people inside would probably have died watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s&feature=yo­utu.be Your ignorance is impressive, actively believing something out of context.

32 g acceleration is drastically different from 32 g deceleration, especially when you factor in whiplash, and other stuff like that that would not be a factor in the test you state. Your first example is also idiotic, as it is a sample size of one scenario, implying it doesn't mean shit. More people have died from crashes at 30 mph than have lived from crashes at 107. Much better video than this one watch?v=4yFvQppaAdc , depicts what would happen to a person.

There is a Meme of this exact car, the photo from just after it has crashed and you see the driver side. It says ''I hit a deer, and the deer walked away laughing'' or some such thing. Every moron on the web apparently thinks that's an accurate thing, may laughing about the car being weak and no good in an accident. It took me all of 3 seconds to Google a Smart Car crash test (I knew they were solid beforehand) and what do I find but the exact footage of how that car came to be that way...

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it 1977 a British Formula One racer named David Purley crashed into a wall at 107mph and the deceleration was so abrupt that the estimated force was roughly 178g. He broke quite a few bones, but he did survive. It's all about the duration, long period high-g = bad.

Colonel John Paul Stapp of the US Air Force did several experiments, strapping himself to a rocket sled, and determined that 32 g was an acceleration someone could walk away from

Right, that's why every car crash before the late 1980s was fatal, which is roughly when crumple zones first were implemented in automobiles...

thats what the world thought about your mom but look your here
