So much for European 5-star safety ratings.

They conduct those test @ 60 km/h. At speeds higher than that, survivability has a lot to do with luck...and the Star system is not meant to measure luck.

... sad, really sad ...
"It was in Rustenburg, was told about it when I was there yesterday. Apparently a young guy wanted to do a top end run on that road to show off to two younger kids. The road is straight for long then has a tight bend, he went straight into a few trees. Driver survived, wasn't even admitted to hospital, just checked out and sorted for a broken nose. The other passengers exploded on impact. Yup, that's what they said - EXPLODED!"

The 60km/h tests I was referring to was in response to the post before mine that mentioned the Euro 5-star ratings. Of course the crash in the pic wasn't @ 60 km/h.:rolleyes:

There is no ways the driver could have survived.... :eek:

Why do people race on public roads. Stupid. It is easy enough to ask local municipality for a race day permit I would think. Cordon off a small lesser used street for some fun in an industrial zone or something once a month. Municipality would be stupid not to allow it. Organize something proper. Sheesh!

Look at the drivers seat... looks like the safest place to have been in this case.

The seat looks alright but the impact and force going through his body! I can't believe it!

Luck of the draw. Back seats are safer most of the time.

I'd say this was topping 220... not 160.

Quick question...... why do people get off on accident photos?
I often get them in my email and go to great lengths to let the people who sent them know I am not interested in seeing photos of another's misfortune.
Is it only me who looks at those and thinks there must have been a fellow human being in that car... and in all likelihood they are no longer with us or if they are they are in a bad way. I also assume these people must have families and wonder what it would be like for them to receive them in the mail or see them on a forum.
Anyway suppose this is just my view but wonder whether anyone else thinks the same way?

Don't try to be a racing driver if you cannot afford to be a proper racing driver! If you feel the desire then get some sponsors and get on the track. Public roads are not made for racing!

Maybe you, and everyone who gets them, will think twice about speeding? I certainly do.

If fun is made about it (not saying it is done here), then I agree. If those photos can give someone else a wake-up call? Why not share it, to open up someone's eyes...
Else the same can be said about that flattened mini the Arrive Alive campaign has.

I can tell you now that the emails I get sent are not sent to teach anyone a lesson. These photos are sent more as a "geez check this mangled wreck out". The same way you get those ones of people breaking bones etc in sport. They are sent to shock, not teach.
Can I tell you something that does cross my mind? If these people were racing, or just excessively speeding which is obvious, I often think "Good! I just hope no one else got injured or killed". If anyone feels the need to compensate for a small penis by racing around on public roads they deserve what is coming to them!

Lol. Thats not very nice! You should be saying "Damn what a pity that thay accident happened" not "Thank goodness no one else was killed" Sicko! :p

In this case if the he/she was racing on a public road and the crash only involved the driver all I can say is thank goodness the stupid git can no longer risk the lives of innocent law abiding road users or pedestrians.
Just because he/she's 'human' doesn't qualify pity as a default reaction IMO.

See my post above which agrees exactly with this sentiment.... Here -

I once saw a few pics of a 18yo californian girl that met a concrete bridge pillar at high speed with the Porche he daddy had bought her... not a pretty sight.

Nothing special...just a totalled 335i.
The container falling on that car were way worse.

Nah a 335 going so fast that it hit a tree and split in two is special.
Beware a turbo rear wheel drive!!
