    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 speed was set as the upper limit of survivability. Much more and you are a corpse... There's nothing much you can do about that. Hit a tree in a NCAP 5 star car from last year at 100Km/h and you are dead... Clip a rail at 50Km/h - you might be okay. The vast majority of crashes happen at lower speeds, where good engineering has an affect on safety.

    These are the real world speeds. The IIHS has came out and said that the reason they test at the speeds they do is it represents the *majority* of accidents with severe injury in the US. If you make a car that holds up at 65mph, it's too stiff and turns your organs to soup at 30mph.

    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.

    The difference between the Fusion and the Concorde on the pole test is that the Fusion just split, where the Concorde had the A pillar smash into the passenger compartment.

    The small overlap test is the most difficult for any car. The iihs introduced the small overlap test in 2012, so all of the cars before 2012 were not designed for it, so of course they failed.

    I believe that these crash tests have their own original sound. It is not necessary to put the same sound under every video. Especially since these crash tests carry information not only in their sight, but also in their sound. In addition, it should have been noted that the Chevy Malibu crashing into trucks was not a test of the car, but a test of how to make such accidents more survivable with crash-absorbing accessories installed on trucks.

    I will state this as an emergency physician. In car crash, that seat belt will lower the risk of sudden death. It will turn sudden death to a manageable life thretening condition which can be cured or reverse by operation or proficiency I excel in but you will suffer a lot of pain, disability. The most safest way to prevent injury is to drive it safe make sure accident not to happen.

    This is the reason, why all parents want their kids to drive a big SUV.. But this is a 2 edged sword; teenagers have a much higher chance of getting (causing) an accident. As you can see perfectly with the Jeep Wrangler, SUVs and offroaders have a higher chance of rolling over. My brother drives a compact MPV and it's perfect. 102hp, manual transmission and good on gas and it's safe!

    @@chriskonte1909 thanks for your comment Chris. Interesting. Some thoughts of mine. There's plenty of truth in saying if I drive a bigger, heavier vehicle I'm probably going to come off better in an accident with a normal size and weight sedan. ( I'm English but will use American terms to try to be understandable to a wider audience.) But many mid size sedans have better /safer passenger compartments than say an Ford F 150 pick up. Tests for safety are very important because they offer buyers the ability to make informed choices and ensure manufacturers are held to standards. The very best manufacturers use safety as a selling point. There is the danger of a sort of arms race where the manufacturers make bigger heavier vehicles to protect their buyers, think Audi Q8, Lincoln Navigator, Range Rovers, etc. And electric cars are even heavier. Above a certain speed / kinetic energy level no accident is survivable.

    The purpose of crash testing is not to eliminate injuries, but to raise the speed at which they become serious or fatal. All vehicles will have a speed at which a crash into a fixed object will be non-survivable. If you are going to crash into another vehicle however, then be in the heavier vehicle and your chances improve, at the expense of killing the occupants of the smaller car. If you drive a Smart Car colour yourself Stupid. If you drive a very tall vehicle with a high center of gravity you run the risk of a roll-over and you may die without hitting anything other than a soft shoulder on the road.

    In all seriousness, how can you expect a car to be severely damaged, and its passengers severely injured or killed, in some of these crashes? Crashing the corner of the car into a pole cemented into the ground? A car going underneath a tractor trailer at highway speeds? Or going underneath the edge of the back of a tractor trailer? It's a metal box with sharp right angles. How are the passengers of the car going to survive hitting that?

    A video that didn't appear here, but fits the theme: somewhere in the IIHS Archives is a crash test of a 2016 Honda Pilot being crashed into a 2016 Honda Civic. During the crash test, the Civic's seatbelt severs and sends the dummy violently into the steering wheel and dashboard. I assume the IIHS was going to publish it and various other SUV vs. Small Car tests in a piece about the compatibility issue in crashes. For some reason, though, they decided against it, perhaps due to the Civic's abnormality muddying the data.
