No matter which car, I hope I'll never experience crashes like these.

Apart from the door coming off the 2001 Taurus did better than I expected to be fair, given it’s age it didn’t collapse like the Chrysler Concorde

Those poor Crash test dummies paid the ultimate sacrifice so we won't have to 🙏

The really sad thing is this tests are conducted between 30 and 40 MPH. Very unrealistic in real world driving. I am a retired volunteer fire fighter/EMT. Over the years, many improvements have been made, but even with airbags and ABS and stability control, you still stand a good chance of being killed in even a moderate impact crash. Seatbelts and airbags help. Sometimes.

The crash sound effects are out of this world!😂

I know the Smart was thrown during the impact, but look at the overall structure. I'm incredibly impressed the chassis didn't fold with an impact like that

I love how @ 5:33 the dummy is like "Oh crap! Lemme turn down the radio.

Those aren’t the doors coming off. Only the door skins. The doors themselves stay attached. Those pole test are brutal though.

The narration in this video is very good...brief and to the point, without a lot of fluff!

The Malibu crash tests were more about improving trailer safety designs rather than the Malibu itself.

I’ve seen at least 4 crash videos involving Chevy Astros, all fatalities. The drivers of the other cars all walked away.

"Wow look at all these cars crashing" *Sees my car* "Oh..."

I have a friend who used to own the same model of Camry as the 2012 (idk what year it was) and she was in an accident with a drunk driver, the car burst into flames and a good Samaritan helped her out of the car. She went to the hospital and made a full recovery.

The car companies still sold all these vehicles knowing they failed the collision tests

Who would've thought that Jeep Wranglers fall over? 😅

Also, the Pontiac Trans Sport's crash looks horrifying

[Bobmcjoepants]

What this video has proven is those who work at the IIHS have way too much fun with their jobs and frankly, I'm jealous

[spiffcats]

The weird part is, I was in a very serious accident with my chevy astro, I got hit by rocks falling from the cliff beside the highway and thrown off. Went airborne before hitting a tree and coming to a stop after going straight off a cliff, the van finally stopped 100 feet down and I survived with almost no injuries. The van held up exceptionally well and did nothing even close to whats shown here. Plus the IIhs also reported that of all vehicles on the road there were the least fatalities involving these vans. Something isnt lining up between real life and the results of that test.

I think the reason the wrangler flipped was because the front left tire got wedged under the vehicle, acting like a ramp and flipping it over.

ah the 59 bel air crash test again. IIHS has already been called to task for this one. the bel air was structurally compromised in this test, the frame was rusted out to the point of being non rebuildable and the vehicle had been stripped of its engine and transmission leaving the engine bay free to crumple and fold back. IIHS claims the test is still valid.

The Sebring was actually a recreation crash where the driver was severely injured.
