WATCH THIS Buckle up

ERROR: Video file not found! is all I get.

If you click on the title of the vid clip you can watch it. It's a video of an Expy being rolled over with crash-test dummies flying all over the place.
I've seen it in real life and I deal with it on a day to day basis. Crash-test dummies don't bleed and spill their organs all over the place when they get squished... real people do. |
Thanks, was able to see it. Looks like a fun ride!
No seat belts. No air bags that I could see either -- Chuck |
If you watch the video carefully, the expy stays together fairly well. What makes it so dramatic is the lack of seatbelts. I'm not an expert, but I think a seatbelt would have probably saved a life in this extreme rollover crash, but that is the purpose of the video, to show the importance a seatbelt plays, even in a high speed multiple roll over crash. I wish there was a link to the same experiment with the dummies seatbelted in.

Yeah too bad that's the older models that were a lot tougher than ours.

I did that in an F-150 extended cab. Rolled 3 1/2 times. Ended up on the roof. We were going about 55 mph. Thank God we both had seat belts on. I was the passenger. I can still remember how hot the roof was getting as we rolled and slid. We went over passenger side first and it sucked!! First roll was pretty slow. The second 2 1/2 were a lot faster. After the first roll I though damn we are OK. Then is was s#!t we are going again. My side was flat with the door jam. I did a lot of ducking. I climbed out the driver side rear window. My co-worker was stuck in the truck because he could not get the seat belt undone. We both walked away with minor injuries.

Not a roll-over, but a side-impact crash test on the 07 up Expy/Navis...
