full frontals are not representative in real life crashes

@215alessio

NHTSA's tests aren't like IIHS's. NHTSA tests for occupant protection and safety restraint efficiency.

how fast is this speed?? my mom hit some 1 at 40mph and the front was smashed prity bad but not like that and the air bags did not deploy...

[CarPro1993]

It was at 35 Mp/h.

My mom got hit from behind yesterday and our flex was left with a scratch. And the car hit her pretty hard

@YZ250FKING mmm.......my 1998 Grand Cherokee rear was smacked by an older Latin man with a 2007 Toyota Sienna, air bags did NOT deployed neither.

@YZ250FKING Cars now day are supposed to look smashed...because that absorbs all the energy from the crash and moves it around the passengers not through them....what kind of car did she have..was it a flex?

[whattheheck1000]

depends on how she hit, and other cars are deformable. this 35 mph is what would happen in a full head on collision with another Ford Flex also going 35.
