Funniest thing is, they cut the roof, but that seemed to serve no purpose on helping the dummy out of the Golf

[@derbigpr500]

It held up very well. In most cars you'd find the steering wheel near the rear seats after a crash like this.

[@DanThemes]

Enrique Suarez You're wrong. If your car is travelling at 27.78 m/s (100 kmph) and comes to rest in say 0.2 seconds, your deceleration is 27.78/0.2 = 138.9 m/s². This is 138.9/9.8 = 14.2 g. John Paul Stapp survived a forward g-force of 46.2, so 14.2 g in a car crash is not fatal, assuming that the car holds up, obviously.

[@SalveMonesvol]

+Daniel Sarmas You calculated an even acceleration (deceleration) during 27.78 metres. I don't see where you got that from, the crumple zone is 1m at the most. If the energy was evenly dissipated during 2m, assuming that the object impacted also crumples 1m, the acceleration will be almost 200G, which might be survived (while still causing widespread damage) in a rocket sled for example, since it's pushing from the back, but in a frontal crash, there is no way.

[@derbigpr500]

+SalveMonesvol Yes, F1 drivers survive crashes into walls (talking about hard walls not tire walls) at 200-250 km/h. Look at Alonso crash in Brazil for example...that was almost 300 km/h into a metal fence that catapulted him away like a bullet. That was more force than in a direct hit into a wall at 100 km/h.

[@SalveMonesvol]

derbigpr500 link?

[@diecksl]

+Daniel Sarmas +SalveMonesvol The crash test expert at 2:45 says the car de-accelerates with about 60 g, which means somewhat between 120 - 200 g for the passengers inside. Beside that I think the car held up really well, considering the body was optimized for a NCAP crash test with 64 km/h - which means roughly 1/4 of the forces involved at 100 km/h!

[@RYO92]

This is the real test at 100km/h. Not at 50 or 60 km/h.. Nobody drive at 50 km/h..

[@ayanami5610]

But if two cars crashes at 50kmh the total speed is 100kmh. They have to show an crash at 200kmh.

[@palino111]

+iFlo One It is not 100 kmh. Simply because the forces are derived as the objects colliding (cars) are a flexible, not solid objects.

[@alexbeau348]

+iFlo One mythbusters did collision of 2 cars moving 60kmh result was no the same as car in wall at 100

[@butwhowasmoto2739]

No it isn't. If you're in Car A and you crash head on into Car B, both doing 50km/h, you still only go from 50 to 0, and the other driver also only goes from 50 to 0. if you're in Car A doing 100km/h into a wall, you go from 100 to 0. It's clearly not the same thing

[@JohnDoe-zt6ly]

+ButWho... kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 m*v*v so saying Car B doesn't have that enormous energy going towards Car A, is just so very wrong...

[@soberek]

Golf passed this test beautifully. Remember, this is a stock body, no roll cage, no reinforcements like you get in rally cars. At that speeds, with no braking whatsoever, a hit into concrete actually gave some chance of survival. Dashboard moved a few inches,but notice - this is a left-hand drive car smashing into concrete @65mph. The steering wheel didn't move at all. Now that's some brilliant engineering

[@aidan1585]

yes, and it would perform even better in real life as most drivers would slam on the brakes so you would end up crashing at 80-85km/h

[@FSXNOOB]

When you drive 100km/h it just feels so normal and safe.. untill you see this...

[@glenn1111]

Agreed that even a family car in Australia in the mid 1990s looked like this at the standard 64km/h offset. It would be interesting to now test a 2019 VW Golf or similar at 100km/h. A lot has changed in 10 years.

[@ThatSilentGuy]

Problem is: in Germany, speed limit out of urban area is generally (without speed limit sign) 100km/h, and because the street is narrow(only one lane for each direction), you HAVE TO drive near 100km/h in order to avoid slowing traffic and causing traffic jam. In highway (Autobahn) you need to drive even faster: 170-180km/h

[@GreatMrCarban]

You dont need to. In Germany we have something like a reporting rate of 130 Kmh (80 mph). This means, you can drive this speed or higher.

I am German and he said that there would be very severe injuries that are not livable, the dummies head still hit the steering wheel through the airbag. Looks can be deceiving, but you are right the little VW did pretty good even at these speeds.

[@Wars-engineer]

Хороший тест, хорошое видео. В основном лобовое столкновение происходят при обгоне то есть при больших скоростях чем при краш тестах по старым нормам.

[@dimos47ki7]

@MegaKlamka actually the 64km/h speed was desided based on the average speed of actual crashes. we do travel with 100km/h but at 99% of the crashes drivers hit the brakes before. and also keep in mind that when we go with 100+ km/h we usually travel at highways where we cant have a frontal crash with the oposite coming cars. and lastly, there are very little chances to survive a 100km/h crash, not because car will break, but because forces are too big for our body to withstand

[@idkwuisp7626]

[@whattheheck1000]

I saw a 95% survival rate at 64 kmh in a 5 star EuroNCAP rated car according to the graph at 4:58. Thats a 5% death rate. I think the death rate is more like 0% at that speed for a properly restrained driver. Youd walk away at 64 kmh. As for 100, a 2% survival rate is way too low. That crash would probably cause severe injuries, and may have a 70% survival rate. May 16, 2013

[@SalveMonesvol]

I'd like to see the same crash test at 80 km/h. I'd bet the golf can protect the driver at that speed.

[@Vatierville]

That did very good for the speed! Congratulations Volkswagen:)

[@westend4451]

Tja, da hat man's. Stabilität ist nicht alles. "Sieht ja gar nicht sooo schlimm aus" ist eben eine relative Aussage. Nicht wirklich eingeklemmt und trotzdem tot, da sind eben die physikalischen Grenzen erreicht.

nein. Wenn die Fahrgastzelle um 30sm geschoben ist, es wirkt auf Uberlebensmoglichkeiten am grossten. Falls es 0 sm von Schiebung gewesen ware, hatte Dummy 50prozent uberlebensmolichkeit anstatt 3proz. Und man kann weitere Vorgaben auch anpassen

Wow.. This car faired up amazingly! Alot of highways that i know's average speed is around 90 km/h - 110 km/h

[@ELValenin]

Everyone in this car in this crash would've been DEAD.

[@Enkidu1701]

No, a straight frontal crash at 100km/h or more is (almost) impossible to survive. Na matter what kind of car, no matter how modern or what fancy security equipßment. That´s the point of the video. Please look at the graph at 5:20. You can see there the speed in one line and chance of survival in the other. But accidents like this are rare. Nevertheless if you have an accident like this at 80km/h you are most likely alive, while at 100km/h you are most likely dead, according to the curve.

[@JKD01CRO]

VW Golf's safety cage did pretty good here, I was suprised here, although dashboard was moved inside, but off course, seatbelts, airbags and seat couldn't handle that deceleration. For that speeds new generation of seatbelts from stronger materials with better "catching" capabilities and faster deploying airbags must be developed.

[@purrability]

@71shoelover Thanks you too! :) I think it is never ending process. There is always something we think we already know everything about but in reality we are just scratching the surface.

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

If you watched closely the dummy's head also hit the window which is why it broke and also you have to consider that altough deformation was small the forces on the dummy head and neck would be very high. Plus, the link you showed was depicting a small car crash into a larger car. If a golf crashed into a larger car the impact would have been similar, this barrier is only relative to the a similar sized car and things change when the car is larger.

[@Peppermint1]

I didn't notice the head hit the door glass.. The forces on the body are high, and it could lead to injuries or death, but the important thing here is the safety cage remains relatively well preserved. The link showing the two toyotas colliding, is a good indicator of the smaller car behavior in an impact at larger speed that the one used by standard crash tests against a fixed barrier. I wanted to show that the Yaris doesn't seem as safer as the VW Golf in higher speed crashes.

[@AsrafProtas]

how strong is the silver bloks???

[@moptim]

@randomkille 5:20 nope, that graph says that practically noone survives from 100kph, even though the car body doesnt deform or anything

[@LoveTheCity123]

@Crisb90 Well, it really depends. A woman in a Volvo XC60 hit a semi-truck head on going 65 MPH on the New Jersey Turnpike and she walked away with just a few small scratches. The article is on NY1 news. The semi-truck was going 55 and the Volvo was going 65. Then again, the Volvo XC60 is rated as the most safest car in the world, so that may be why.

[@sdj7122]

What is better in crash, this Golf or Zafira A 2004 at 100kmh ?

[@Peppermint1]

Actual insurance and government tests are for 40mph or 64kmh crashes. This must be improved, as the manufacturers build cars safe only for 64kmh crash tests. At higher speeds, the cars are not safe. It seems VW took responsibility and built cars that are much safer than government crash tests require. Thumbs up VW and German people!

[@OG_SUN354]

Wichtig ist dabei zu beachten, dass es sich hier um die Aufprallgeschwindigkeit handelt.

[@eltfell]

@Ismalith Allerdings wird auch das andere Auto deformiert und auf 0 km/h verzögert. Für beide ist es ein Aufprall von 100 km/h. Bei einer Gesamt-V von 200 km/h muß man also durch 2 dividieren. Demnach ist der Test realistisch für einen Landstraßenunfall ohne Bremsung (sofern nicht einer ein Raser ist).

[@kafros4ever2]

Crush test test with 60km/h (40m/h) with 5 stars means

[@whattheheck1000]

They give death way too much credit. The ratio of severe injuries to fatalities in car crashes is probably 7 to 1. 7 severe injuries per fatality. Severe injury means multiple fractures of bones, coma, skull fractures, organ injury, etc etc. Over 100 injuries of any severity occur per 1 death in car crashes. That crash test had the occupant compartment only moderately damaged and airbags and seat belts working as well as they could. Seems more like severe injuries than death in that crash.

[@WhiteSlift]

You're talking about the small overlap test, which is a quite unusual way for crash testing.

[@boberson33]

При краш-тесте на скорости 64 км/ч у большинства автомобилей пять звёзд. На таких скоростях ездят только в маленьких городах, там жизнь идёт не спеша. А в мегаполисах тише 100 км/ч давно никто не ездит. Так-что давно пора проверять безопасность автомобиля на скорости 100 км/ч,

[@AlexPGunn]

so....why was the front tire locked up before impact?

[@Aschtra]

was die gurte beim auto angeht, so geht nichts über sportgurte, weil man da man besten fixiert wird. beim normalen gurt wird nur eine schulter gehalten, so dass beim aufprall der körper sich ruckartig leicht rausdreht, somit kann man sich trotzdem an der wirbelsäule verletzen.

Princess Dianas w140 s class survived a head on at 80mph into a concrete pillar. The guy wearing the seatbelt survived but that hit full on between the chassis rails.This golfs floor pan should be stronger to stop the seat coming forward from buckling andif there were curtain airbags and the dummy sat further back he likely would have made it.notice the lack of curtain airbags and ths dummy smashing his head off the glass.

wonder whats the ncap rating now after this realistic crash sim

[@JarekMichalskiBass]

Wow, impressive. Seems the Golf has a really strong structure. I'm not a VW fan (they're characterless and their current engines are horribly unreliable, especially the infamous 1.4 TSI) but I admit they make really safe cars. Of course at such speed you'd be probably killed by the acceleration, even if the "survival space" is intact...

[@Peppermint1]

I get it, I understand the point of not surviving a 100kmh sudden deceleration. However, there is not a strict limit of survival at 65kmh and also there are many ways a car could crash. The best is to make sure the survival space is kept at any crashing possible speed. It's not hard to do and, at least, it would help remove the dead body easily by the rescue team.

[@moscovciucartemie6019]

This is how all the crash tests should be, at 100km/h. At 64km/h almost every new car gets 4-5stars, they should rise the speeds of testing, because nobody dies at 64km/h in a new car

[@ChristianNorge]

Another important fact to note is that most cars never crash at high speeds, besides obvious reason like speed limits, but also because most will hit the break, even if just for a split second, it helps.

[@cap0815]

It is fatal. The crash was 60g's. The professor of biomechanic says the force impacts on the body is at least 120g's maybe 200g's.

hi, i hit the wall of a bridge at 100 km/h, but it was not straight collision, it was at about 45 degree angle. and i hit it from the back side of the car.. cause the car turned after i hit the other side of the bridge. i came out with no scratch. thanks to seatbelt i suppose and side airbag helped a bit. but also my muscles absorbed the shock as i tightened them right before the crash. and yea, the car kept turning... for way longer than i thought... you won't know how dangerous 100 km/h is.. so take my advice, don't drive beyond that speed, always use seatbelt.. my accident happened cause i was driving 120 when it started raining first time of the year, the roads were dirty, and slips

[@peterpixo]

@MegaKlamka true, but you may have some seconds to break and slow down to 60km/h easily.

[@Peppermint1]

Well, the F1 driver did survive a 100 mph crash, it is documented. Do you think every corpse will sustain fatal internal organs injuries at crashes above 60 mph? By no means. Some might die at 50 mph, other at 100 mph depending on the age, health and other factors. It looks like your comment was impeded by the name of the auto maker in the subject.

[@rapgame61]

Almancam yok ama video nun sonunda sanirim, 100kmh hizdan sonra yapacaginiz kazada hayatta kalmaniz mucizelere kalmis demek istiyor.

[@Vollhirni]

@71shoelover what's more: you can't design a car to be stiff enough to make accidents at those higher speeds safer without making the accidents at lower speeds much much unsafer because you would miss the designed crumpling space then.

[@Peppermint1]

During the 1977 pre-qualifying British Grand Prix, David Purley sustained multiple bone fractures yet survived when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to 0 in a distance of only 66 cm. The institutes actually test cars crashing only at 60 km/h, that's around 40 MPH only. If the body of the F1 driver survived a fast deceleration from 108 MPH, I believe a regular driver won't always die in a crash above 60 MPH (100 km/h). Human body can sustain higher decelerations, only more fragile ones die

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Any crash over 50 G and all the passangers (including the driver) survive by luck. The changes are really poor statistically.

[@manimawsome17]

yeah... it's clear that a lot of you didn't understand that they were saying that no mater how safe the car is 100 + km/h frontal crash like this is most likely going to be deadly...

[@3yE]

No change of course. NCAP is only specified for 40 mph (64 kmh).

[@Peppermint1]

However, in Nascar and other competitions, cars are crashing at speeds of 120mph and higher. And drivers walk away on their feet. There are videos on KZbin showing it.
