My dad always told me not to believe anything I heard and only have of what I saw. I'm sure the S-car survived, but what did they do make it survive? Could a person walk away from that same crash? Just imagine a body in motion after "...after it stopped bouncing off barrier." Race cars are intact after many crashes, but the driver's body isn't always so.
I remember back in the '70's, reading a story about a guy that built a reinforced concrete vehicle designed to withstand a head-on collision with freight train. The vehicle survived but he did not. He used ping-pong balls to protect him by absorbing the energy and that they did. Except the compacted around him and smothered him. Well, this is a subject that can go very deep... Happy 4th of July all! Gob bless our military for their sacrifice! ___________________ Dave "Dinty" Moore Wallingford, CT AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics 203-631-6416 From: paul <paulholm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sun, July 3, 2011 3:20:53 PM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Crash test, what a waste...
