Ever see a old muscle car in a actual accident vs a new car? new car is crushed to ****, old car might have a few bent panels. That vid is bull.

And yet statistics speak for themselves. Crumble zones actually save lives by reducing the g-force impact, fascinating.

^^^this^^^
The vehicle structure and shell is now designed to absorb and transfer forces away from the interior, but the video is pretty amazing nonetheless!

That energy has to go somewhere. Either absorbed by the body and frame, or the jelly doughnut behind the seat.

Its fake people
04-20-2014
You people are insane to think this vid is a fake........
And no ITHURTZ guy this isn't some conspiracy, its called crumple zones and hell even most new cars have ****ty safety ratings.
Go find a vid of a Volvo against an old car.
Id take an airbag or side curtain over a dash to my face and a engine block to my knees anyday!!!

ruined a perfectly good 59 Bel-air

Old cars survive, driver dies
New car dies, drive survives

I'd want to be the driver in the newer car. I would live to buy another car.

Well of course a severe crash like that anything is forked. My buddy got rearended at 45 in his Chevelle and he had no real damage.

true, but then again. it comes down to advanced in car design. I agree i'd prefer to be in a new car. But back then, that's what was there to be bought, so people bought em.

remember kids, back in the day seat belts meant the car was unsafe lol hudson fixed that misconception.

scotty now thats a video, fire and all!
But does this test give us the complete picture? I don’t think so. What it does show is something many people have known for years, the GM frame design of that era had a serious safety flaw.
Ill agree with this video though, as its more real
