Well it was normal, maybe after 30years we will be shocked of today cars, that is 90s in 60s most cars didn't even had seat belts, any airbags, headrests and was crumbling under impact even worse, so 90s was very good in comparison.

@@dannyphantom121 Speed limit maybe, but a lot of cars could triple this number or even more.

Fun fact : for the Dodge Neon’s crash test it had to be tested 2 times because of some technical issues with the dummy’s leg but had the same structure

It’s nice to see how far car safety has come over the past 25 years!

And then Tesla made the Cybertruck with its sharp edges and trunk lid that can cut your fingers off!

We had a kia sephia that met its demise years ago. I never realized JUST how lucky we were that we got hit on the side of the hood and not where the doors were because we would have both been killed. Those cars are made of cheap plastic and the bumper literally was made of styrofoam. Please never drive those cars.

Can anyone believe that there are still people that say that cars in the 50s with no structural support for the roof are safer?

There were cars that tested well from this era, (Taurus, etc) but it’s good that the results overall have improved so much that now it’s the norm to do well.

This channel channel reminds me of aircrash investigation. Keep it up man this is interesting as hell!

You forgot the pontiac transport

Not really, car companies didn’t take offset collisions into account so when the IIHS introduced this new test it exposed the problem so it could be fixed

Shocking.

Could you do a video of best 90s performers. I wonder if the cars that had reputation of being “safe” were actually safe, eg Volvo, Mercedes, Saab, etc? After getting into an accident in her 88 Camry, my mom ended up getting a Volvo and Mercedes bc these cars felt solid and were known to be safe. Curious to see if that’s actually true.

That’s a good idea. I’ll add it to my list of future videos. Your instincts about Volvo and Mercedes are correct - BMW also had some strong performers.

I rolled my Saab 900 turbo on some black ice and skidded on the roof for about 40 meters, pinwheeling down the mountain road. The hinges on the hatch broke (as they were designed to) and I crawled out that way, as the doors were crushed. I didn't have a scratch.

I remember the time my mom was taking us back from school in a Lincoln Mark Vii. She was side-impacted by 2000s Silverado. The truck had a massive dent on the rear door and the Lincoln had a bit of the plastic trim barely scrapped off the metal bumper. The bumper is still in good shape with tiny little dents.

sounds like you meant to say she was the side impactor instead

Was hoping to see my Plymouth Acclaim! Its a literal cube with no airbags!

Unfortunately, the Acclaim wasn’t tested by the IIHS. Very high likelihood of total structural collapse given the performance of other Chrysler vehicles.

@crashcore_cc its sooo rediculous that lots of models got discriminated against and never went on that runway, like WHY?? jeez!

Cars are safer, but still dangerous.

And still many vehicles are crap
