Ouch!!!

In a crash like that, i doubt anyone would survive as the deceleration forces would be too much for the body to withstand.

I doubt in this instance that deceleration was the issue. The 4x4 only lost 15mph. The main issue is the loss of survival space. My SIPS bag deployed during my accident last year and almost certainly helped keep my arms in check...

I'd like to see a similar test with a Volvo saloon as the target
