Damn, I just saw this on TV about a week ago. They didn't even use the same model of car when doing the original test. Me and my friend still think the tire and guardrail played a major factor. If they really were trying to do a solid test, they would use something with the same amount of cushion as grass and then have the solid drain. Instead, they just used some ramps.

Your mistaken friend. That was a young kid running and the cam was a cop that happened to be in the right area. He walked away but yea... no ramp, he hit the police turn around thats gravel and ramped off of it and hit the center support. Car split into three pieces and he was lucky to survive. Just fitting given the conversation.

There's isn't a turn around there, there's a guardrail, grass and a storm drain. The ramp was in the re-enactment test the the crash investigator was trying to perform. The first test it looked like a BMW they were using instead. The front is shaped completely different from a Trans Am. Yeah, that guy was definitely lucky.
