In order to have a fair comparison, only frontal offset tests, also called moderate overlap tests, that are done specifically at 40 miles per hour into a deformable barrier with a 40 % overlap are used.
Despite the name of this video, this actually shows the worst performing cars in the crash tests, rather than the methodologies of the system. This is done to make the title concise and to reduce confusion.

It is appalling how 4 of the 21 vehicles in this video are General Motors (GM) vehicles! It seems obvious that GM did not care about safety. It should also be noted that all of those cars were released after the proposal of the frontal offset crash test.

My friend owns an auto shop and has a fleet of tow vehicles and flat beds. I've been with him for some "minor" accidents in town at the 20-30 mph range, and was shocked to see the damage of the more affordable "for the masses" cars made to be inexpensive with decent features, the Cavalier being a good example, but some even more higher priced "next step up in the ranks" of those manufacturers. I'm glad I never went to the more serious ones, because as you said, the cars alone were sometimes a horror show. I was not needing to see the actual person inside, or partially inside.

Another on the list of jobs that would give you PTSD! All the vehicles in the video folded up like a nickel drum.

[@brucehursman8874]

I witnessed a Chevy Astro van slide off the highway, hit an embankment, twisted right hit a second embankment. The van was split open on the drivers side, flipped, ejecting all 3 passengers out of the van. The 3 passengers hit the ground and the van landed on its roof. Unfortunately the man that was driving was under it. This Happened in 1988. I'll never forget what I saw as long as I live.

[@alouise3557]

You still probably have PTSD to this day. You poor guy. I'm sorry you had to witness it. The only positive thing would be that if the man who was killed deserved heaven, he went there immediately and likely had no memory whatsoever of what happened on earth. And if he deserved hell, he is finally out of society. Sorry to say. Maybe he was a pedophile. Maybe he was a Saint. But he's where he is supposed to be, either way. I witnessed a body hanging out of a car, myself years ago. Imagine what police and paramedics see. My cousin is a fireman and of all the accidents he attended, it turned him cold and calloused.

[@KlodFather]

The seat did not disconnect from the floor. The frame and floor turned into a U and the seat was forward of the bend. The seat and dash are on the same plane and the rear frame and floor are at a 45 to 60 degree angle to the seat. It was one hell of a twist. That's why the roof line lowered.

[@christopherg9806]

The Saab 900 surprised me because they touted their safety back in the day. But I also remember that cars back then were designed to take the impact across the entire front end. Offset crashes focus the energy on a smaller area and are more difficult to pass.

[@declangohsman9913]

The 900 tested was an NG 900, which iirc was mainly a GM design/spec with a saab label on it which happened after GM bought saab. The 900 "classic" 79-94 were saab originals and rated much safer.

[@worawatli8952]

I own a 9000 for years, whenever I go to my local Saab shop for maintenance, I always see 900NG coming in that needed overhaul and has all sorts of problems, despite being newer, pre 900NG models are much more reliable, fewer things to go wrong and better made than the later one.

@@worawatli8952 They may not be as reliable to a tee, but my 99 9-3 has nearly 300k miles, with few problems. It has been one of the most reliable cars I've owned, behind the Honda's. The powertrains were very similar between the 99 9-3, 900NG and the later 9000s.

Not only did it hit her Nissan Altima bunker at near full speed, but then landed on top of the car! The responding officer was 100% sure this was a fatality, until he suddenly heard her muffled screams of HELP! For Gods sake, her rear wheels were flipped 180 degrees over into the rear passenger area. He immediately had a tow truck lift the semi up…and the lady crawled out on her own and walked away. Her ribs and head HURT……plus had a nasty cut on her heart. But she was ALIVE. Apparently the seat successfully “failed” and laid her down flat when the semi landed on her roof…after crushing her rear end. Her face was inches from the trucks undercarriage. Some one commented how Nissan needed to buy that wreck, study it, and give that lady a free brand new Nissan Altima. I agree! I saved some cops the picture it the Nissan with the truck lifted off it.

[@iatsd]

One thing to bear in mind while watching, a lot of these cars were designed *before* the off set test existed. Most were designed for the older full frontal impact test. The cars designed *after* that test came in (eg. *all* the Chinese cars the video) have no excuse.

[@SDRLG]

This is great, "The solution is simple, it just requires some sophisticated engineering"

[@benruss4130]

Well, It really isn't rocket science what needs to get done. Most of these cases the transverse beams of the safety cage need to be made either thicker, or of harder steel. The problem is designing it to be both effective and cheap that is hard. However, I think this test is unfair to the trucks in it. Because trucks have a tendency to shove a smaller car around, which results in a much longer impulse time for the truck. Running into a solid concrete barrier makes it much more difficult for the trucks to pass muster then the cars, as the trucks have alot more mass that needs to be stopped in the same time frame in this situation.

Interesting, that some of the trucks perform as bad or even worse then some really small cars such as the Citroen Saxo, Fiat 600 or the Mini metro. I mean the Fiat has not much crumble zone to offer just because its a small car even for European standards. Also the Saxo and Peugeot 106 where designed to be extra light - both weighting under 800 kilos (That was actually Citroens development goal for that car back in the day). But the F150 or the Ford Ranger? Their hood alone is almost as long as the FIAT 600. So feeling more safe in a truck or pickup is an illusion. A bad car is just a bad car no matter what size.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

True, but it is relative to mass. If you drive a heavy car that smashes into a small car, the heavy one has a headstart in passive safety. The small one has a headstart in active safety (avoiding collisions) though. It is more nimble, has a shorter brake distance and can pull off drastic steering input at high speeds better.

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

@@ronaldderooij1774 Two cars colliding has many more aspects then crashing a car in a more or less rigid barrier. I was talking manly only about one aspect: about crumble zones - that is what crash tests against rigid barriers are about. Crumble zones do have many factors - but roughly: The longer the way you have to absorb the energy (basically length in front of the A pillar for a head on collision) the better. To compensate for the lack of size you can try to cleverly design the structure, but if the structural design is on par, the shorter car looses. And what I wanted to point out is, that the trucks have WAY more length, thus should perform better - but they don't. That means that their structural design is sub par at least. The mass advantage over smaller cars is there, no doubt, thats just physics. But thats only one aspect and in real life, trucks seem to "compensate" for their mass advantage with sub par structural design and as you mentioned worse handling and other negative sides of "more mass". And not all crashes involve 2 cars.

@@Slazlo-Brovnik It's the body-on-frame structure, you cannot really get those safe. Just look at the new Wrangler, 1 star in the recent EuroNCAP test.

[@harryballz6358]

What really gets me is how long its taken US gov to mandate any type roof structure testing. In the 80's my best friend turned out of an apartment exit onto a side road on a very dark rainy/foggy night. Pulling out slowly only traveling around 5 mph as they couldn't see the road well enough and he knew the road had a huge 15 ft wide x 20+ foot deep ditch along side it with no safety guards or street lights in place so he was just barely moving as he pulled out. His passenger side wheels wen't off the roads edge just enough for his 1977 Grand Prix to slide down in the muddy ditch and flip over on its top. It's top completely crushed down killing his fiancée instantly and almost killing him too. I flipped a Vega GT in mid 80's rounding a curve at 50 mph and my left front tire blew out, I over corrected spun around & my rear tire dug in a small ditch then car barrel rolled 3 times. Another friend flipped a Chevy van when we were driving on a gravel road. He simply caught the edge of a small concrete drainage ditch wall about a foot high that was covered over with weeds and sent us right over on our side. I remember back in the 1990's either on a 20/20 or 60 min special one showing roof tests being done on some mid 70's GM cars (like a Cutlass, Monte, GP etc..). Showed them holding them up about 6-12 inches above the ground with a huge crane and then releasing to see if the roof could support it even from that little bit of a drop. But' every car they tried it with failed miserably with their top instantly crushing down completely like it was made from paper mache, their tops simply collapsed instantly, it was ridiculous. So' after seeing up close and personal just how fast flipping over a vehicle can occur there is absolutely no way in hell I'd ever have or ride in any convertible or T-top vehicle of any brand. SUV, CUV or vans can flip over even easier with their height & top heavy designs, so if you want your family to live longer do your homework before driving one off just trust me folks. If an SUV is really whats needed not only just for its outstanding reliabilty but I strongly suggest a Toyota/Lexus model with the YAW sensor in the Electronic Stability Control like the 4Runner which is in fact the safest SUV on the market. It's YAW sensor keeps it flying straight "Literally" it does...lol www.yourlawyer.com/product-liability/seatbelts/seat-belts-not-save-lives-rollovers/ www.autosafety.org/thousands-killed-hurt-auto-roofs-collapse/ www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/roof_crush_safety_briefing.pdf

1970s cars, like that Grand Prix, were an improvement over the pillarless hardtops that were all the rage in the 1950s and '60s. A lot of those, as well as some convertibles, went out of production in anticipation of 1974 or '75 rollover standards that were not implemented. I think it was in the mid 1990s, or somewhere around that time, that people whose lives had been saved by airbags started turning up paralyzed in greater numbers and the standards were finally implemented.

Anyways it's basically an early 90s car that they had to milk into the early 2000s because of budget, there were PLENTY of other much more dangerous cars.

Tempered glass also stops the occupants head from smashing through the windscreen and then decapitating it on the way back into the car, if you are relying on a windscreen to provide structural rigidity, maybe you should question your knowledge of engineering, btw it is the job of the a pillars and b pillars (and c and d pillars) that provide structural rigidity for the roof, thing is if you make the car too rigid the occupant may not be crushed inside but will receive brain injuries just purely down to the speed of the car coming to a stop.

@Mäkirannantörmä Trabants regularly went on the East German Autobahns, and cruised at 100 km/hr easily

My old man love his Ford sierras in the day. I'm amazed we made it out the 80s. I know one lad the didn't due to a sapphire cozzy and a concrete bollard. Took half his face off, and he drowned on his own blood while we waited for the ambulance. A strange sound you don't forget quick, a man's drowning in his own blood.

They are, just re-branded as Chevy.

Daewoo is still the 3rd largest carmaker in S. Korea, and they sell vehicles all around the world (including a small SUV badged as a Buick in the U.S.)

I used to know someone who used to own a Chevrolet Astro. After seeing this, I'm glad they got rid of it.
