Keep in mind that this was not like a real head-on collision with another moving vehicle. You can see the parked Ford get catapulted away, softening the impact considerably. As that Ford weighs a lot less than the Rover, the impact they show here will be about the equivalent of a 12 to 15mph head-on with a wall or another car traveling at the same speed.

@@Simon-ui6db The energy/force in impact is how much pressure you feel on yourself. Hitting an immovable object means you slow down from 30mph to 0 in less than a meter, that being the crushing of your car. In crash tests wall is always deformable to simulate other vehicle, so you slow down slower. Here the vehicle wasnt stopped, this was just a quick deceleration from 30 to about 15mph, similiar to hitting a wall at 15mph and coming to standstill.

That’s because he knew it was gonna happen. He knew he was going to crash that car on purpose. Now imagine yourself as a regular person driving down the street. You’re kind of in a rush because you don’t want to be late for work or you don’t want to stand your date up or whatever other circumstance you happen to be in. You’re not speeding or anything like that, so all is well in the grand scheme of things. Suddenly a dickhead in a BMW pulls out of a junction without looking. You’re a good driver, so you obviously sense immediately that something dangerous is happening. You slam on the brakes, but it isn’t enough and you hit the car that pulled out. You’ll be shook up by what’s just happened because, as much as anything, you simply weren’t expecting it. Now here’s a whole other scenario. You’re a stuntman, just like the dude in the video. Before the stunt, you’re briefed on all the relevant safety stuff and the fire department and paramedics are on standby in case anything goes wrong, whereas in the previous scenario you’d have to call the emergency services yourself and explain the accident to them along with any injuries anyone sustained if it was a serious wreck. You’re expecting it this time. It doesn’t just catch you by surprise.

The Rover 600 used old fashioned 3 point seatbelts. Normally cars equipped with frontal airbags have pyrotechnic seatbelt pretensioners & load limiters, these work in conjunction with the frontal airbags to cushion the impact by pulling you back in to the seat ( pretensioner ) & then allowing you to move forward again in a controlled way ( load limiter ) In lower speed frontal crashes the seatbelts can fire the pretensioner to restrain the occupants & the airbags not deploy as they won't have any effect. Some Vauxhall / Opal & Rover cars when airbags first started to be fitted used a spring loaded seatbelt pretensioner mounted under the seat which would pull the buckle down tight on a frontal impact - very easy to lose a finger if removing the front seat & you forget to install the safety clip.

Yet there is not a garage in the WORLD that does this as a standard procedure, nor is there any inspection done by an agency to check if it's been done at áll. So it's nothing more the a paper tiger.

Interesting to see a real person in a crash instead of a dummy (even though in this collision the airbag did exactly nothing to help). Framing this 10-year-old car with 124,000 miles an "old banger" is hardly correct, though. This is a just an average crash in an average aged car with average mileage. All this test showed is that an average car still functions as intended, which isn't too surprising. They should have grabbed a much older car. Not sure about the UK, but in the US, there were a number of cars offered with airbags as an option in the early '70s. Then I think the option went away for about a decade (since most people weren't buying it), came back as an option in the mid-'80s, and then became more or less standard across the board by the early '90s. Looks like this was filmed in 2005, so plenty of genuinely old cars to choose from at the time (if the UK had a similar spattering of airbag-optioned vehicles).

4:26 That's a bad seatbelt. Take a look at any modern crash test and you'll see that the seat belt must allow slow movement of the occupant and generally into a deflating airbag to increase the time taken to decelerate and hence, bring down peak acceleration. I know that most tests are at higher than 30mph but this is way too stiff. The airbag here was completely useless.

Brave person... the seatbelts worked as they should, but his head was nowhere near the airbag... I guess the tests that are carried out using dummies don't account for hand tension on the steering wheel, if your expecting a collision. But why do the dummies head always hit the airbag.... if they are strapped in...?

The speed is a lot higher so the body has more inertia before the seatbelts lock with pretensioners.

Up to you. My project-car-to-be has no airbags (1970s) and is made of fiberglass too, so any substantial accident you're just not walking away from. Back in the day there was just a different mindset; you were either lucky or you weren't. However that does nestle somewhere into an era where seatbelts were becoming mandatory across the world, innovations in crumple zones and heck even airbags did exist even if they weren't quite mainstream. But again up to you. If it's that old check the seatbelt anchor points out, could even have an extra plate welded to the chassis (if whatever it is is old enough to have a chassis too ofc!)

Very slow crash that only proves that the airbag is there and will inflate even at rather low acceleration.
