Another Feet on the Dashboard Accident

Your driver may be a good driver but the guy that pulls out in front of you may not be. The impact can happen in an instant and you will not have time to get your feet down.

Don't risk being crippled for life, or worse..

DISCLAIMER

Crashes in these videos are done for the purpose of creating accident scenes to be used for training students in accident reconstruction and investigation classes at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. With these crashes, formulas that are taught are verified and students get hands-on experience in crash scenes. There are times that demonstrations are done for groups but any crash is used to gather the post crash scene data for teaching purposes.
Sometimes dummies are placed in the vehicles just to show what may happen to someone inside. These dummies are extra and not part of the original crash scenario.

These crashes are not meant to test how any particular vehicle model holds up and the ones used are surplussed by the state. Most are high mileage and have issues so please don't give us any grief if we crunch someone's favorite model. We would use a Yugo if it was given to us but I'm sure we would probably catch hell from the Yugo crowd.

During my almost 50 years as an LEO I worked at least four (4) MVAs with the front seat passenger, 3 women and one man, critically injured from having their feet on the dashboard when the accident occurred. The worst injuries came from an accident at no more than 20 MPH. She had both hips dislocated, both femurs broken and three of the four lower leg bones protruding through the skin.

That guy is a boss. First he goes flying down the highway without a driver, and then he doesn’t even flinch when his legs get wasted.

[mohammadzaid]

Took me 5 minutes to figure out if that was a real person

[bobjoatmon]

I have seen few guys with their feet on the dash in 45 years of driving, but the number of women who do is astounding.

The moral here: if your driver has exited the vehicle it's probably time to get your feet down and follow him.

[nuttmare]

I've never put my feet on the dashboard. Now I'll NEVER put my feet on the dashboard!!

[revelationakagoldeneagle]

The driver left the vehicle well before the crash.
He was no dummy!
Carry On!

[mtalentagency]

Took me until the 3rd angle to realize it was a crash test dummy.

At first I thought he was in complete shock after the crash.

[billbradley]

As a retired truck driver I know women put their feet on the dash and out the window wayyyy more often than men.

[kadeb]

I thought it was a real guy for a sec.
Also, why is it that all of a sudden most of us just got this recommended?

[Iamascug]

It took me a few seconds to realize that it wasn’t a real person 💀

[jeffreyhemphill]

I completely thought this was a real guy taking a whole nap and not giving a heck about tearing his own truck up

[AFTER_MIDNITE]

That poor mannequin. He’ll never walk unassisted again.

[TheWholeGrainBread_Real]

Ain't gonna lie, you had me in the first few seconds. I thought that was a real person lol. I verbally said "oooh" when the impact happened.

[Prosecute-fauci]

I had to talk my wife out of this practice for about 8 years before she finally stopped putting her feet on my dash.

[tullochmacdonald]

For those who think this is funny or the testers are exaggerating the damage, remember, crash test dummies are built as realistically as possible. They want to know how accidents impact the humans.

[toyotasprintertrueno]

Took me a second to realize that was a crash test dummy lmao

[RM_VFX]

The upside is, he can now walk backward a lot easier with reversed feet and knees.

[hughjass]

This happened to a young lady close to where I live. Smashed her hips and pelvis to pieces, she's been in a rehab facility now for almost 2 years and most doctors don't believe she'll ever walk normally again.

[BenRias]

Am i the only one that thought it was real before impact?!
