it is really eye opening but volvo or mercedes from the 80/90 are stronger I guess, well not like the modern cars but stronger than other marques from this era I guess.

But all in all, the sierra isn't that bad if you involving the age. Look at some chinese cars it is like paper.

Yes there old car yes they're weak compared to todays cars however the crash's in the video's are of cars being driven into fixed solid objects that are not going to move for shit 1 has to give! In an everyday accident you would most likely hit something that is going to move even a little to absorb some of the impact

the rs200 didnt move at all, it came of well imo, the fiberglass came of but it doesnt look like the front wheels moved all that much

the sierra didnt look to bad either except where the bonnet turned into a guillotine..

but that chinese car was far worse pritty shocking!

if your that worried about dieing in a crash then get a roll cage fitted and you will be fine haha

Depends on crash speed - Cars are designed to crumple to reduce impact forces. No crumple = pain.

So of you crash your sierra it'll crush you up like a grinder, decapitate your head off, and if that's not enough and you survive all that then spray fuel everywhere and burn you alive.



At least you'll go out in style
