Now, @50mph. That's survivable. Don't ask me how I know. :(
55mph is also survivable into a concrete barier.Quote:

I've seen this posted before. BTW that is one ugly ride.
Good video! Ugly car, but good video. You know how some things are so ugly that they are cute? Well not that car. It stops at "full ugly" and never crosses over to cute.
it looked like a bomb went off inside the Smart when it hit.
this vid popped up after the crash one stopped playing.

:scratch: It's not clear to me that the Smart performed that badly. Would a Miata (or a Civic) perform any better? Would the doors still open?
S.
I would say the Miata would fair much better, seeing the results of my Mom's car crash. Her frame was tweeked, but the car did'nt look that bad. The collision into the concrete barier caused the barier to be knocked over. She walked away with a coulple of broken ribs(osteo perosis) and bruses after a van pulled out in front of her. She swerved to miss, but somethink in the steering felt as if it broke and ended sending her into the wall at 55mph.
