both vehicles where crashed at 40 mph in a offset frontal crash i wonder what ford was thinking when they designed the f 150

Damn...

 

Thank you... I'll start sending this to people that bitch at me about driving an unsafe car.

 

LOL. I love those pictures.

 

thats crazy, i used to drive an f-seris truck. good thing that i went the civic

 

what kills people very frequently in crashes is a change in momentum. Since momentum is mass times velocity the f-150 has much more momentum in a collision of the same speed as the mini cooper. However,in real world collisions, people do not crash straight into brick walls (most of the time) so this test is a little different. In a rear world collision, the f-150 would lose less speed in a collision do to its proportionally larger weight. Therefore its delta velocity would be much smaller than that of the mini cooper. So in some respects, you'd have to compare the crash tests of the truck at a slower speed than that of the cooper, cuz in real life the cooper would be slowing down much more in a collision than the truck. I hope that makes even the slightest sense to anyone. I'm not saying it will be safer, just saying that youi must consider that the real world ramifications of those crashes would be much different due to the added weight of the truck.

 

^^^^uhm very well spoken, and i completely understand what you are saying. but if people do crash into walls head on, then you get whats in the pictures, which is really crazy.

 

Sweet, I guess my Limo driver will be safe then..
