Note that this was a test of a new facility, not of the car. The car was loaded with somewhere in the vicinity of 400 kg of sandbags in the rear and crashed into the wall at 100 km/h.

That's, like, easily what an American car would regularly hold while moving at slower highway speeds. Not sure if you were trying to reassure us here...

Yeah modern cars are super safe and the crumple zones and airbags will save my life therefore I never need to wear a seatbelt. See also: My pickup truck is bigger than most other cars on the road and I will survive any collision.

Modern cars are pretty impressively safer and your prospects are still statistically worrying above 40mph delta because it's just a staggering amount of energy. Still need to focus on how we can reduce speed of incidents through training and road/network design.

Rally car safety is a good success story of reducing the frequency of crash. They time warped some years back in raw performance after Group B killed too many people so they could be sure the cars could be controlled by a human well enough to not splatter them entirely. Safety systems are now catching up so that the 80s speeds are a stone throw away, without people dying every year because they're avoiding the crashes entirely.

Are they not also at least attempting to keep spectators out of the driving lanes? Seems like a lot of the Group B vids I watched, that was the obvious hazard, not that the cars were just too fast.

starkebn posted:many OSHA posts I'm quite curious if this has ever been in and survived an earthquake? Because there aren't any loving straps securing anything to the foundation anywhere. And as soon as a little shake comes through that building is going to slide right off those blocks. Actually, based on the angles of some of the bearing posts it's been in at least one already. It reminds me of a barn I was in once where we were tasked with cutting out and then replacing a corner post.

There's no such thing as combined speed. Unless one car keeps going unimpeded, a head on collision with both cars going 40mph is the same as hitting a wall at 40mph.

terrenblade posted:The OSHA here is vertical filming. I think this is the one case where vertical filming is properly used. It allows you to see the entire race course while cutting off everything you don't need to see. Then when that one sled gets to the bottom, and you think you'd need a horizontal framing to see the entire thing, it conveniently collapses to a size that fits within the vertical frame.

This is the case for cars of the same size of course, if you ram a semi then it pretty much is a wall coming at you at 40mph
