look at these idiots defending the smart car haha the fucking thing landed on its roof that crash woulda paralyzed anyone in it. there not safe. get a real car

@turtleshot987 The thing to keep in mind is that there are heavier, safer cars around, like hybrids, that get as good as, or better mileage than these eggs on wheels. It seems to me that the definition of ignorance would be to shill for these death traps. You must have an aganda you are not disclosing.

@turtleshot987 While these "microcars" all get a "good" rating from IIHS ( their best) in offset frontal impact, you have to keep in mind that the impact is against a stationary object. Being hit by a moving object and being driven backwards increases the forces on the body exponentially. Watch the video entitled "MINICARS MICROCARS CRASH TEST FAIL CAR CARS AUTOS New Crash" by the IIHS for their explaination.

Nice goin you messed up a s-class

@turtleshot987 Fine, I suggest you buy one, save the planet, and let Darwinism take it's course.

@kpdsza Your ignorance is amazing. Research the results of this crash and not some purposely biased and edited video.

People probably look at this video and say "HOLY SHIT, SMARTCAR GOT DESTROYED." While it may appear that may from the outside, the forces that the driver and passenger suffered from the crash are really what matters the most, not which car looks better after a crash. Look at the results of this crash, and you will find the driver of the smartcar would of most definitely survived this crash.

No safety cage will ever defy physics. The smart car was driven backwards. It is the G-forces that killed everyone in it. I don't care if it only has a scratch on its bumper, the occupants are d-e-a-d.

It's structurally sound, and that's good but there's so much more than just making sure the super structure doesn't collapse. That crash does not give very much shock absorbing vs a normally sized car. That's why today's cars crumple. It absorbs a considerable amount of the impact. Also, that flipping. NOT good. Whip lash, more chance of hitting another object, all that movement allowing your body to be flailed more. The Smart car is not safe in a crash.
If you watched the rest of the video, the smart car actually did very well. This crash test was performed BY Mercedes themselves to show that it is safe even against larger sedans.
Get it right next time.

Your refusal to believe facts about the Smart car's safety is really annoying!
Why are you reading all the comments on the smart car videos? You obviously have never been in one. You certainly don't own one. Just go away!
