About IIHS:
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.
IIHS was founded by auto insurance associations back in 1959-incidentally, the same year Volvo introduced the three-point safety belt. Since then, the IIHS has continued its work to reduce the frequency of collisions and to minimize the rate and severity of injuries (and monetary damage) in the crashes that cannot be prevented.

[@Duraputer]

I just looked it up, the reason cars did so poorly in 2012 is because 2012 was the first year the IIHS introduced small overlap crash tests. Before that they mostly did moderate over lap crash test. A small overlap crash test puts more pressure on a small area, so all these cars would do much better in a moderate overlap crash test.

[@gentle285]

Why are you looking for excuses? Your reasoning only means that manufactures only engineered them to perform well on the tests and not to actually protect the customer at all "costs", which is incredibly shameful. The manufacturers whose cars performed well even at the introduction of the test are the only ones you can trust.

[@Duraputer]

@@gentle285 it's not an excuse, it's the companies were not yet ready for the new test. The were probably notified of the test a year before, but it takes a lot to design a frame to withstand a small over lap test. A lot of these vehicles that did poorly were 4 years old, so they just didn't have a new frame to test it. Like the cr-v for example the frame was released in 2007, and it was pretty much the same in 2012. Now i still think having a small over lap test is a good thing, because it forces companies to make their cars safer, but to make a car safer that takes time and money.

[@michaellim4165]

I don't know how real are the notes. I mean, there's couple cars tests where the A pilar are almost broken, the dummies head almost goes outside the window and the side airbag opens after, and that car get M (moderate) and other cars where you can see that the pilar A stays intact and the safe cage also intact, the dummies hit the central opened airbag correctly, and get P (poor) note. There's a "dieselgate" here on those tests also? Look at Chevrolet Sonic, as examples. Or Ww CC...

[@Yormsane]

Amazing how many of the steering wheel airbags just bounced around uselessly, offering no protection for the driver. And shocking to see how many side curtain airbags didn't deploy, failing to contain the driver's head movements.

[@TalkingHands308]

@@carvidz7504 Worse than useless. Airbags actually have the ability to cause injury or even death. The reason why they are so desired though is that the possibility of them saving your life is much higher than the possibility of them taking it, but the chance is still there. So if it deploys late, that means it didn't serve any function in saving you from injury or death, but that risk of injury FROM the airbag is still there. So you're getting all of the risk with none of the benefit if it deploys late like that...

[@TalkingHands308]

@Omega uh, airbags deploy at like 200mph. They can cause very serious bodily injury. That's why they say that an airbag is actually bad for you if you're not wearing your seatbelt, because then you'll be too close to the airbag as it deploys...

@@FriscoBoatersGarage No dude there are so many new cars out there that crash test better in the tests like in the recent years so you can see that they had changed a lot about new car safety performance which previous model cars just lacked. But did you even notice that those cars are from usually the early 2010s and not really from the late 2010s or 2020+. Also they crash test a LOT of cars so only about maybe 20% do poorly. Would you really compromise safety over fuel economy?

[@MrMrremmington]

90% of the vehicles tested had (A) pillar deformation and the dash intruded towards the drivers body. It was also clear starting in 2012 that the Mercedes and BMW had the strongest subframe probably from higher strength steel to protect the passenger compartment. Volkswagen seem to do well here too. The latter years for the Lincoln and even more dramatic failure in the Cadillac, the whole frame of the driver’s side just started to crumple front all the way to the back. I was surprised at how poorly the reliable Asian cars perform. The frames were just not as rigid as the BMW’s, Merced’s or Volkswagen’s passenger bubble, that was clear. The large trucks too, major cabin deformation. If the car doesn’t contain the high strength steel passenger compartment it’s basically a tin can on wheels.

[@Soravia]

2004+ Mazda RX8 had high tensile steel. So did MX5. Other Mazda share design with Ford until 2014 Mazda6 and later new models which all had it upgraded. CX9 and Mazda5 were last Ford based models

To be honest, even though this test was introduced in 2012, most of the vehicles in this video were designed WAY before then.

This test is actually very difficult to get right and took some re-engineering of vehicles.

[@noneofyourbusines1476]

The Beetle and Jetta had the least cabin intrusion. A small airbag in the area of the a/c vent to the left of the driver would reduce a lot of head/face injuries...though in all, major leg/foot injuries are a certainty.

[@philitacampbell9529]

[@xboxbam3979]

There is one trend I see with majority of these poor/marginal crash tests: The wheel crunches into the area behind the engine... where the steering column/steering pedals and the driver's legs are... I remember seeing majority of the best small front overlap crashes involving either the car changing trajectory significantly to dissipate the energy or the wheel coming out of the wheel well preventing it from caving into the driver footwell area.

[@antoniocampos6627]

I also think knee airbags would help greatly. BMW and a few other manufacturers had them but most didn’t early on. Many of those year vehicles are still on the road and would have helped a lot in terms of reducing leg injuries.

[@markb3756]

Very true. It seems like they could develop a wheel that could basically disintegrate upon impact with the footwell structure. Wheel intrusion is the most common thing that almost all of these cars experience.

[@mattiasjohansson1727]

Well, having a wheel that easily disintegrates could potentially be dangerous, let's say that you hit a pothole at high speed for example, you don't want the wheel to fall to pieces in that moment.

[@dragontouched6848]

The one thing i recognized with most of those tests, the steeringwheelairbag deploys, but through diagonal forces the head lands on the airbag most of the times but slips sideways away onto the dashboard. We really should think of a wider airbag or an airbag with "wings" on each side, to accommodate for that apparent issue. Sidewallairbags maybe reduce the impact further, but the diagonal forces get the head in between the safetyzones, therefore avoiding them almost entirely. Also seen in this footage, how heavy cars still carry on so much momentum, that they tend to go on further, before finally getting the spin. Another point for me to say: SUVs are the bane of humanity. High weight, bad viewangles and high center of gravity. Bad in all regards. I am sitting higher in a VW Transporter AND have more carrying space than a SUV will ever have. Get away from those unsafe vehicles, they use loopholes in the system to avoid some regulatory requirements

[@InvertOtaku-os9lj]

If you're in a car and get hit by a tall truck, these tests are meaningless. With an SUV you get better gas mileage than a truck but better safety than a car. Especially a Subaru or Volvo. I really really want to buy a new Subaru or Volvo midsized SUV but I just got laid off so I'm too broke and can't afford it. 😓

[@dragontouched6848]

@@InvertOtaku-os9lj all suvs worldwide should be banned immediately. They dont have better gasmileage, they dont have good space for transporting big things and they definitely dont let you sit that much higher than regular cars. Instead of that shitty suv take a van. Way better spaceusage and you will sit higher than in those shitty suvs, which are impractical and just oversized egoboosters

[@InvertOtaku-os9lj]

New Subaru Forester gets 33 mpg highway. New Dodge Charger gets 30 mpg highway (with base V6) or 27 highway (V8)... Subaru also has a charity organization: "Share the Love A lot of love comes out of a Subaru. Love is all around at the 2023 Subaru Share the Love® Event. Purchase or lease a new Subaru between November 16, 2023 and January 2, 2024 and Subaru and our retailers will donate a minimum of $300 to charity. By the end of this, our 16th year, Subaru and our retailers will have donated more than $285 million to national charities and hometown charities..." But sure yeah let's just shit on SUVs without any fucking research whatsoever into their company policies and ACTUALLY LESS EMISSIONS and better mpg than many full size CARS. You are in need of a serious rethinking on your viewpoints. I will say that while indeed many people who own trucks and SUVs don't need them or use them for their intended purposes, some actually DO. Regardless, driving a van and then saying SUVs should be banned is some fucking seriously messed up mental gymnastics. I will not however say anything bad about you being a brony as I was one once, before I became an Otaku. (Loved the creation of sisterhood between Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo...) Also, I tend to be overly dramatic in debating vehicle stuff, so I apologize for the aggression. I don't hate you for your view, I just think the suggestion of outright bans is overkill and illogical. We should focus on making our government actually follow through with their promise to install nationwide accessible EV charging stations. Not that I want the internal combustion engine phased out just yet but, still, I hate fake politician promises that are never delivered upon. I wanted Tulsi Gabbard or Rand Paul, not Biden or Trump 😆

The wrangler is the best: it directly jumps over! But this asymmetrical test is very hard due to the very, very limited section of the car included into the impact

[@joseurena6549]

The frontal airbags, in my opinion, are causing severe damage to the servical vertebrae, feet is observed as the neck of the dummin turns, causing great damage, it is necessary to improve its traditional design.

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

What a difference 7 years makes. The 2018 Hyundai Elantra does incredibly well on this test. Not so for the 2012 Sonata, which is a slightly bigger car too!

Allmost all the crash dolls miss the airbag. So if you are about to crash like this I suggest lodging quickly to the right just before impact

[@mal-wx6tu]

I liked the way the Lincoln glanced off the wall on impact, it could be firewall strength, that caused that, which is what will save you in this type of impact anyway, and as you see micro cars are death traps, they don't have the length of body to absorb the impact. Steering wheel airbag stability is the main problem too, if it doesn't stay in front of you it's no use to you.

[@antoniocampos6627]

I think the Yaris should have gotten a poor and not a marginal rating. The dummy completely missed the airbag and if not for the seatbelt would have been ejected out of the car. Same for the sonic as the side airbags were very late to deploy and instead trapped the head in the door card.

[@markb3756]

Any time the A-pillar is distorted then the results aren't going to be good. The VW's did well in that category but had intrusion into the footwell from the front wheel assembly. Maybe make a wheel that will break apart or break loose when coming into contact with the footwell. Even with the wheel becoming completely braken off from the car would produce better foot/leg injury results. I ALWAYS look up these tests when I am car shopping. Glad that I drive a VW!

[@CJEMSChannel]

@@craigmarr7986 tell me you know nothing about crashes without telling me. Cars are made to absorb the impact. A car that doesn’t get much damage from the crash sends all that impact force straight to you, destroying or at the very least damaging your internals. After such a crash, most likely you’d be dead. And if you do survive, life would look very different.

@@CJEMSChannel So what good are crush zones when the people get crushed, and killed in the accident, that makes your seatbelts, and airbags of no affect, and useless.

I don’t think you have anything to worry about with Volvo they introduced the 3 point safety belt in 1959, all other manufacturers didn’t have a 3 point safety belt for many years later. Volvo’s are extremely safe cars and trucks.👍

[@roadwarrior144]

After the second crash Im assuming the frontal driver airbags are going to be redesigned to be more of a “U” shape or dish-shaped to more or less “scoop/direct” the head towards the center of the airbag so that it doesn’t get missed?

Jeep motto: We build them poorly for your safety. You can't crash them if it's in the shop for repairs. If you do crash and the initial impact doesn't kill you maybe the 2nd or 3rd will as it rolls and hits everything around it

no competition isn't good for us customers

[@Noah_E]

​@N P Your comment doesn't make any sense. What does FCA/Stellantis shit quality have to do with Ford, GM, or Volvo? I've owned vehicles from AMC, Chevy, Ford, Jeep, Mazda, Studebaker, Subaru, and Toyota. The Jeeps were by far the most unreliable and recall ridden. I've never owned a Volvo because they seemed boring or weren't offered in AWD, and aren't even in consideration now that they are owned by Chinese Geely. I don't see myself buying any new "American" vehicle anytime soon unless they seriously improve their quality. Japanese and Korean brands are just better and have been for quite a while.
