Crash Testing

• On the real Crash Testing Grounds engineers and
  technical experts do just what it sounds like
  they crash cars. New cars, old cars, expensive
  cars, sports cars, trucks, vans just about every
  kind of motor vehicle imaginable.They also
  experiment with different types of crashes
  front-end, rear-end and side, plus incidents
  where cars and trucks roll over.

During a crash, the car crashes to a stop. At 30
mph, a car hitting an object that is not moving
will crumple in about two feet. As the car
crushes, it absorbs some of the force of the
collision.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A CAR CRASH?

• Have you ever wondered what happens inside a car
  when it crashes? The people at the Crash Test Lab
  do. They spend hour after hour measuring, testing
  and analyzing. They've found that in each car
  crash there are actually three collisions
• 1.    The Car's Collision
• 2.  The Human Collision
• 3. The Human Body's Collision

THE CAR COLLISION

• During a crash, the car crashes to a stop. At 30
  mph, a car hitting an object that is not moving
  will crumple in about two feet. As the car
  crushes, it absorbs some of the force of the
  collision.

9
THE HUMAN COLLISION

• The second collision is the "human collision".
  At the moment of impact, passengers in the car
  are still traveling at the vehicles original
  speed. When the car comes to a complete stop the
  passengers continue to be hurled forward until
  they come in contact with some part of the car.
  For example, the steering wheel, the dashboard,
  the front window or back of the front seat.
  Humans in a crash can also cause serious injuries
  to other humans when they collide with each
  other. People in the front seat of a car are
  often hit by rear-seat passengers as they fly
  forward with incredible force.

10
THE INTERNAL COLLISION

• In a crash, even after a human body comes to a
  complete stop, its internal organs are still
  moving. Suddenly, these internal organs slam into
  other organs or the skeletal system. This
  "internal collision" is what often causes serious
  injury or death.
• Imagine what happens when someone's head collides
  with the windshield of a car. After the person
  stops moving the brain hits the inside of the
  skull. The result may be only a mild concussion
  or there could be permanent brain damage.
