TAC - Pinball (Australia)

Looks to be from the mid 90s this one, also take a note of the seemingly unnatural hand movements the guy makes when the accident occurs. It seems almost... made up in some way!

my old school buses always had seatbelts that went across ur lap but they didnt help

i mean my bus neva eva crashed but the driver made sudden decellarations quite often, perhaps about 80 km/h to nought in about five seconds, and even with seatbelt i always fell forward and hit ma head on the seat in front

it sucked big time

Lap belts are shit :)

am working on the translation of this video, but there are some parts couldn't catch clearly.

Can anyone share the "text" of the video?

[wuzzlevideos]

Will transcribe it for you later on today :)

my dad knows the guy in this video.. it was a real accident and he was wearing a helmet under a wig... no CG at all..

[wuzzlevideos]

Woah, are you fucking serious? That's awesome! I always did wonder how they did it. What about the woman? :)

putting on a selt belt for me is like second nature...I'm not even aware of me doing it (I have never gotten in a car then not put on my seat belt)

@sliat1981 they are dummies what look real so they were only actors at the beginning

[snow1leopard3]

Did Dr. John Olver say that you need a 50km/h-plus impact to cause severe injuries, think that's a bit lenient. Even a crash at 25km/h has the potential to inflict serious injury. 25km/h = approx. 7meters per second.

[sliat1981]

how do they film these without killing the actors?

[Seattlecarnut]

I totally agree. I've had my share of driving accidents, and if I weren't wearing a seat belt, I wouldn't be typing this.

[TheFatWhiteGirl]

Do you have any idea what happens to you in a crash? You're body goes on a fucking rave trip and gives you unnatural hand movements. You'll probably end up accidentally bitch-slapping your wife, but she won't get mad because you killed her. Oh and everytime you don't wear a seatbelt, they kill a kitten just for fun.

Good question! They're there for a reason, why not use them?

[irishgodfatherchris]

And some of my American friends (they're from New Hampshire where once you reach 18 you don't have to wear a seatbelt) wonder why made seatbelts compulsory so early accidents like this is a dead (no pun intended) obvious

@HungryKFC

That was a rare incident though, like 99 out of a 100 times seatbelts are the best option....

It's interesting that when they put a supposed expert in these ads they tend to make them speak unnaturally sloooowly.
