2:20 What if your battery dies? Can you let off the e-brake?

Nice

Wow!  I like my Suburu Outback 2011 all the more better than before!

@marktech101 yes actually.  you have to do it manually with a special tool that comes with the outback, it's in the spare tire area.

@lolitstinks1 The stationary barrier provides the same results with less chance of test failure. If you want to test a 40mph vs 40mph head on collision. It's the same as crashing the car into a wall at 80mph. They build the "wall" to give the same resistance as a car would. Much cheaper, and makes for a much easier/cheaper study.

[lolitstinks1]

so why don't they test it against a moving object as opposed to to a stationary barrier?

[christophermok]

problems with speed transmission any1? regarding any subarus?

[TheHungryman11]

Ouch that really hurts!

@SLIvista Of course they deploy to protect your head, but they should not deploy unless there is a side impact. During a frontal impact, which this was, front airbags deploy to protect your head. During a side impact, which this wasn't, side airbags would deploy. This isn't a hard concept to grasp.

@TheJoePepper deploy to protect your head, whats so bad about that, maybe install 2 side airbags? and the deflation is a bad idea, got to think of possibly more hits to the car

[SLIvista]

whats retarded is the car is not running, how can you tell if it has fuel explosion problems etc
