New Chevy truck commercial. They dropped a toolbox on it to show the weakness of aluminum.

Glad the driver walked away!

 

Airplane pilots always say any landing you can walk away from was a good landing.

 

Been there and done that!

If the side of the cab was ripped off from impact, I doubt the side windows would still be intact, but they appear to be.

 

I don't see them conducting a training exercise on a brand-new Platinum that costs twice as much as an XL of similar configuration.

 

I agree, you never know though what ford might donate, in the end a customer walked away from that.

 

You'd be surprised. Cars get scrapped for all sorts of reasons... for instance, if a train auto-rack derails, everything on that car gets scrapped. I've cut up some 6-figure vehicles before. I think the most expensive I've cut in training was a brand-new Nissan GT-R, before they were even released to the public. The manufacturers often make vehicles with new technologies (these new high-strength steels, hybrids, etc.) available at the various plants for certain people to cut up, document, and then share with us. And, high-end cars have wrecks too... most of our training vehicles come from wrecker yards, before they send the cars to scrap.

Looking at the way the B pillar is cut, etc., I'd put money on this being the aftermath of an extrication. The nose damage was the wreck, but the door was removed to get a patient out, or in training afterward.

 

A telephone pole at 70mph...I wonder if he spilled his beer.

 

And no seatbelt.
Must have been wearing his hard head.
