GOOD GOD!!!!!!! One of the dummies actually flew out of an open door and landed in the other car's seat. He probably would have been the only person in that entire video that survived.

We've come a long way. And China is only 40 years behind us.

Note the head coming out the open driver's door and being crushed between the front windshield roof pillar and the door pillar. Awesome.

How do video's of car crashes have anything to do with cancer or tree huggers.

Just upgrade the brackets and bolts on the seats, use modern seat belts, and you'll be as good as you can be without airbags.

Yeah, but put those cars up against something today and lets see which comes out worse.



But putting two caddy's like these together is like putting two 1 ton duallys against each other. It isn't going to be pretty.

I'll take the shoulder belts before I take the airbags. Holy crap, every front-end collision put all the front-seat passengers' heads through the windshield. Every stinkin' one of 'em.
