And the focus was crushed to about 1/8 its original size, that included the trunk flattening up like a pancake from the deceleration alone. The whole whole car just literally flattened up and exploded outwards with the wheels and running gear getting shot outwards. The motor kinda just flattened and dissapeared too, then the whole mass of metal bounces back and up like a ball that hit a wall at an angle. they also recorded an immediate rise in temperature in the air near the scene. they need to show that to cocky teens.
Yup test dummy, ha ha what test dummy, you couldn't tell what was metal and what was not after impact. The simulation was head on collision between two small cars like a focus at about 60mp. No chance anyone survives it.  You see that and it makes you think twice every time you want to put the foot down. I think we naturally underestimate the sheer destructive force of a collision at speed. |
post that up, would be a good reference point since its actual measured data and not speculation.
