Default Have you seen this crash? Wicked!

Sorry if this is a repost..

I know this is a few weeks old, but I hadn't seen it before.. You will not believe that this guy walks away from this car. Watch till the end they show some different views that show just how HARD he impacted the wall..

Seen that video, but the condensed version. That is crazy, hadn't seen the wall. Good thing for HIGH safety standards, that dude would have been dead in the days of old.

It simply amazes me how well and safe these cars are put together, to take a head on collision at 180+ mph. Amazing! ! ! !

That's pretty incredible.

If you guys are ever bored, try reading up on the "Safer" barrier that they kept mentioning. If you're an engineering freak like myself, it's amazing the R&D that went into the new design of those walls.
