    Default OT: Parental Guidance Suggested (if you love cars)

    I was looking up info about my car and stumbled upon these IIHS crash test videos. I was specifically looking for the '99 Land Rover Discovery video but I couldn't find it. I wanted to see them organized so I put together a little list for your enjoyment. This is an exhaustive list from 1998 to 2002: you can plug and play with the numbers after 2002 if you wish. I was specifically looking for the '99 land rover discovery video but I couldn't find it: if any of you do, please let me know.

    While I was watching some of these, the band 'Korn' was on a TV show and I think their music makes sense when you look at slow motion auto crashes.

    You can see a well-organized group of crash videos (including 5mph crashes) at Progressive. http://www.progressive.com/rc/Vehicl...TestVideos.asp. The link worked for me a sometimes.

    Good job. This should be archived somewhere. At least for the entertainment value.

    Poor neon drivers......

    That neon was scary,,, deathtrap for sure.
    I have survived a crash at 55MPH head on with a dump truck, so these vids are real for me...
    The BMW X5 rear end almost got 6 feet off the ground!
    My new 2003 330 is hopefully much better than the 2000 3 series.

    I have done my "test" as a crash dummy.... I really don't reccomend it!

    I would sell that F150 as fast as possible after seeing that..... I give you a 10% chance of survival, WITH multiple major damages.

    American companies should be embarrassed by this, the F150, the Durango... people buy them to be safe.... scary!

    The f-150 is by far worse off than the neon, who would have guessed?

    the volvo and the 04 maxima with side curtains did well....
    I bought the 330 for the side curtain airbags.... life savers in a side impact.

    Yes, right up until they meet with Mr. Cement Wall.

    I couldn't find any side impact testing hosted on MSN's servers but I did post a link for Progressive's site at the bottom of my original post. Their site hosts a bunch of side impact and 5 mph crashes: http://www.progressive.com/video/05_FordEscape_SI.asx

    Maybe if I can’t sleep tonight I’ll catalogue those for an exhaustive archivable list.

    For the Ford F-150 fans, here is the latest model: http://www.progressive.com/video/04_Ford150_HSF.asx

    I think I am most impressed with the tires in all these accidents. It's no wonder you see a lot of used tires for sale (at least in the South). "Just in a small accident" could mean they were pinned between the rim and the frame while the car was folding in half.

    Now I want to see some of these small cars in a head-on crash with a full-size truck. In Michigan, the average curb weight has to be near 4,000# with all the GM and Ford SUVs. Even the old Ford F-150 would do well in that accident.

    Ditto on the side curtain airbags Sharkman540i; they are a new requirement on my next car.
