^ Nice find. I like it.

 

I saw this yesterday as well. You beat me too it! lol

 

God that is scary to watch!!! Man... Glad it got such good reviews though! That does make me feel better. Now I think Ill be able to drive home today!

 

hahaha thats cool,

 

Nice link...I am alittle skeptical about the seatbelt pre-tensionors, because in the video it didn't seem like it locked up it looked as if it was unlocked.

 

I think they're designed to "give" once a certain force threshold has been reached in order to keep you from getting injured by the seat belt. It might be better to let the occupant move a few inches than to totally restrain them and break bones.

 

I've seriously watched SO MANY of those videos now hahaha. Check out the Pontiac G6 convertible's video. The thing shrivels like an accordion

 

Great find.

We should also post this on Car Chat...

 

Wow...that was really cool...and comforting - Great Find Thanks

PS> Check out the BMW 3 Series...I like those side curtain airbags...seem to work well on front collisions.

 

WOW! it was amazing to see how well the car holds up.

 

Don't these work only when you are braking hard. Thus, in this case they would not kick in because the car is not braking... it is hitting the wall at full force.

 

Uhm these videos are addicting, I kept searching to find the one with the worst crash hahah! Great find!

 

I hear you. The Infiniti results for the G35 and FX were downright scary. "The driver's head hits the steering wheel through the airbags". In essence, the front airbag doesn't really protect the driver.

 

ill vouch that the is350 is safe lOl i got first hand experience
