Joey Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 WOW, brutal. That's sure something to think about!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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.

OutdoorDan Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Take wreckages like that and put them on a pedestal at every on-ramp onto the 401. Safer driving ensues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) like Irishfield said 60 mph head on crash Edited October 24, 2011 by Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Still "better" then the wall. Didn't the mythbusters do something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share 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...
