Will somebody please comment on this video?

very painful

Luckily for me, car designers aren't idiots like you and the crumpling stops before the passengers...

[lowcostvideos]

Even an idiot knows crumple zones are a good thing.

However this test was so bad because of the lack of seatbelts, airbags, etc.

@cudak888 AHHH MORON! If the car doesen't crumple, YOU will! All of your internal organs will splash and crush into your body and become sauce

@DamnStraightM35A2 cadillac, Oldsmobilles, and Buicks, had the option of airbags. I wouldn't say 20 percrent. Also, i think i heard somewhere Chevrolet tried them out also.

Jsd8675, ' okay thank explain,,, but dont use a word - YOUR - on me,,, let explain about this vehicle crash test,,, rocket scientist is a not smart, seeking smell greedy, keep business,,, a vehicle must have strong metal, add 6 airbags, few add seatbelts,,, that is a good point than rocket scientist,,, a rocket have strong BOMB, harden steel, aluminum, some harden plastics,,, remember rocket fly on the air,,, vehicle run on the ground,,, rocket and vehicle are 2 big different ways

[Jsd8675]

@bestamerica Well, rocket scientist, strong metals aren't good when they're tearing through your soft flesh. Plastics absorb more impact. Your thinking is archaic and irrelevant to safety.

[bestamerica]

'

in 1970 old vehicles were so strong metals on frames, bodys,,,

1990 to 2010 now all new vehicles are plastics, weak bodys, weak metals, weak frames

@JamesPriceJohnson What 70's american cars had airbags? GM made a few thousand Oldsmobiles with airbags in '74 and Mercedes pioneered the modern day SRS in 1979? so how did 20% of cars in the 70's have airbags?

[JamesPriceJohnson]

thats strange, 70s cars had seatbelts. and about 20 percent of them had airbags i would say.

The older cars from the 1960s & 1970s would have been much better if they had seat & shoulder belts for all seating positions in the front & rear. Plus, steel beams in the doors for more protections against T-Bone Collisions. The seats should have had thicker bolts to secure them to the floor of the car so that they would not come loose in a collision. It is a shame that the older cars were not safer, for many of them were very good looking cars for their time. Take Care.
