eddy wolfe 40 is a good average speed to test at, on a highway an accident is often dispersed over a farther distance, maybe a few hundred feet, versus an on road crash at an intersection or into a tree where the car might come to an instant stop. Same reason rollovers can actually be a good thing in some cases, the energy is dispersed through more gradual means than a sudden stop. 40 in a way is the "most common worst case scenario"

On a freeway, people usually are killed in crashes. The modern safety construction of car only help people in impact at lower speeds. If you are in a crash at 70 mph, you will probably be killed even in new car.

Like Sean 5516 said, it scored 1 star, plus the design of that car goes back to 1980. Hardly the fairest or most balanced depiction of crash standards in 1997...

IIHS raised the bar for car safety. The difference between private institution vs government institution. The NHTSA, government crash test, always lags behind IIHS.

can u guys test the UE megaboom just like the jambox speaker because UE (ultimate ears ) says it has a shock proof design and someone from UE droped one from a seven story building and litteraly nothing happens to it

This is more like an age gap of 35 years, instead of two decades. The makers of this video seemed to have conveniently forgotten that the design of the Rover 100 was derived from the Austin Metro, which was developed during the late seventies. If your goal is to show 20 years of progress in car (safety) design, it's not the age of individual vehicles that's relevant, but the age of the DESIGN!.

I’ve got a Rover 100 base model no airbags or many safety features if any but to be fair it was a 1980 car with a 90s body.

You can either have a super safe car, or a decently safe car and avoid head on collisions. I prefer the latter honestly.

Most people with high driving skill can avoid these crashes. My friend has a roll cage and a harness in his car. He is more safe than most people. He has also taking professional racing lessons. There is one thing only worries about semi trucks. If there is one in front of him he slows down. One behind him and he goes 100mph just to avoid it

They are as long as you dont buy too old or a car before 1990. They chose a tiny car which will always be unsafe.

Still rather have a 50s Chevy

I understand they want safety but they still need to allow the car to be just rigid enough that it doesn't total the car at a light impact such as 30 or 35 mph I can understand maybe 40 mph where it crushes it but these cars nowadays are so fragile that they Crush if you just barely touch something

Computers can’t be smarter than humans until they are only interacting with computers. Self driving cars are more efficient, cars are still stupidly inefficient.

They destroyed the Belair for what? That was pointless. It's a classic with real value. If you're driving one of these you're probably fling it super slowly and carefully as not to get rock chips on the paint. :-)

All things into account these situations usually don’t happen often however when they do they are quite deadly. If your car has a long hood that is a huge crumple zone which hill help in a crash unlike many modern cars. It depends on the specific car and the driver. If you are driving a 1970’s car with a 10 point roll cage and you get under a semi truck you will do better than most modern cars. If you are at freeway speeds say goodbye modern or classic. The tests in the video are on such extremes you don’t even understand 90% of you will never be in a crash like this. My classic has a 8 point roll cage and a harness. If I get into a crash my body isn’t moving.
