tb4me Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Speed kills folks....just watch this crash test to see for yourself..Note thou this is very graphic no humans get hurt..It is a must see for anyone with a lead foot <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/l4PjSVOnrVg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Joey Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 WOW, brutal. That's sure something to think about!!!!
mercman Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 they should show this over and over and over and over, to some of the total ijuts i see on the road every single day i drive. Problem is, some of them would think that this vid is COOL
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) COOOL !! Oh.. and remember, if you are gonna head on someone be sure to accelerate so you become the cement wall ! ...and the error in the video. That is not the same as two vehicles doing 120mph hitting head on.. that simulates two vehicles doing 60 mph hitting head on. Edited October 24, 2011 by irishfield
OutdoorDan Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Take wreckages like that and put them on a pedestal at every on-ramp onto the 401. Safer driving ensues.
Terry Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) like Irishfield said 60 mph head on crash Edited October 24, 2011 by Terry
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Though it does simulate pretty well one of my old teenhood friends hitting a bridge abutment @ somewhere beyond 150 MPH in his 'Cuda though.
kickingfrog Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Not quite guys, second car's (in a head on 60mph x2 crash) "crumble" zone would negate some of the impact where as the wall had very little, if any.
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Oh definitely Rob... just pointing out a narrative mistake in the video. Two vehicles at 120mph would make more mess ! My old (dead) buddy didn't move the bridge abutment either... but we did get to salvage his Dana 60 locker rear differential.
Terry Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Not quite guys, second car's (in a head on 60mph x2 crash) "crumble" zone would negate some of the impact where as the wall had very little, if any. not if the second vehicle was a mack truck and a full load of cement
kickingfrog Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Still "better" then the wall. Didn't the mythbusters do something like this?
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 PFF.. myth busters. They also claimed that you can't chain a police car to a light standard and pull it's rear axle out from under it. I personally know that one is obtainable when you pick on an LTD...
misfish Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Ah, we own a Focus,that didnt help.But then again,it,s her car,so I drive it slower then my truck . Must remember not to show this to the mrs,s Edited October 24, 2011 by Misfish
Roy Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Coulda been worse. He coulda had a McDonald's coffee on his lap.
tb4me Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 Coulda been worse. He coulda had a McDonald's coffee on his lap. lol
Fisherman Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Speed doesn't kill, it's the incredibly fast stop that does all the damage.
mercman Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Just so happens, Canada's Worst Driver starts tonite.
Terry Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Just so happens, Canada's Worst Driver starts tonite. really where are you going LOL
HTHM Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Just so happens, Canada's Worst Driver starts tonite. Let me guess, they're all from Quebec???
dhickey Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) What HT said. Edited October 25, 2011 by saltydawg
Roy Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Let me guess, they're all from Quebec??? Actually it's 1 from BC, 3 from AB, 1 from SK, 1 from ON, 1 from QC and 1 from NS. But the 3 from AB probably come from QC.
mercman Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Let me guess, they're all from Quebec??? We only SEEM like bad drivers.We dont leave any witnesses though
