Why Cars Are Built to Make a Crash Last Longer (180-) - Damage Control

FBTwitterReddit

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
The aftermath of a car crash looks like absolute chaos, but it's all by design. Impact can take as little as 24 milliseconds, and at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety researchers are constantly testing for ways to make that impact last even longer. Coastfog: Working in video production, one of the first things I learned is that the way you shoot & edit should enhance the story and the viewing experience. This is the exact opposite. I want to watch a video and focus on the content, not direct it and correct for the shaking caused by simply holding my phone.

Wow! I watched the video first time in a static position and didn't notice anything different. Then i read all these comments about VR and thought -what are they talking about? Have to watch it again- and as i was about to hit replay i said -wait a minute! Can't believe i fell for that! Must be a new kind of group joke that i don't know about. Sorry but i ain't falling for it! - I then looked around the room (no one there) and, with a guilty and sheepish grin, hit replay anyway. Wow!

It's fine that cars crumple HOWEVER the cabin that passengers reside in should be HARD SHELLED and reinforced. It should NOT be considered a crumple zone of any kind. It should be extremely hard and resilient to impact. Often the crumple capability of vehicles literally crushes it's occupants! That's not a good thing if the steering wheel is rammed into the rear seat. Crumple is good but NOT at the expense of killing the occupants due to the crumple!

Let's make a video where half of people watching it will have to constantly tilt their devices back in forth just to see what's in frame, where another quarter of people can't even watch it properly because they're on a computer, and that the rest have to go buy or fish out a headset for an 8 minute video!
Please wired, never again.

I've always been telling myself how modern cars are so delicate and any bump can cause big damage to the body of the car and I just attributed it to companies being greedy trying to decrease the life span of the car so you'd consume more cars in a time period. After seeing this video, I apologize to car companies --

This video's gotta be shown to everyone complaining about current day cars being crushed like beer cans in the smallest of collisions (against of good ol' day cars that were super sturdy and built like indestructible tanks. Like yeah, that's the whole point for you to stay alive.

I had to hold my phone down to get a normal view, and after a bit it changed and then I had to hold the phone straight to get a normal view.
I don't know why you chose the all around camera for this video, because this ain't it. Chief.

i wish i had not watched this as i own a 89 ranger that will not crumple to protect me plus the vehicle has already been in at least one wreck because the cross member was twisted when i went to change out my clutch

Imagine in the future, cars will have vibranium tip to cause a no damage to the car and an eject seat that will go up, glide around in a circle until you slow down, and slowly bring you down to the ground!

This video really really needed a message about kinetic energy and speed. e=mv2. The best way to reduce your chances of getting badly hurt in a crash is to drive a little slower.
