I drove a 500 for years and had a couple of crashes. They absolutely are not as deadly as you describe. I had a motorcycle rear-end me at 55mph and I did not suffer any injuries and the motorcyclist walked away from the crash with mild injuries. I hit a deer at 55 and while it totaled the car, again I suffered no injuries. The 500 very much DOES have crumple zones.
“Basically die instantly” does anyone actually believe that?
- lonelappde 7y agoNeither of those is remotely comparable to a head on collision with 500+ lb car at 500-100mph relative. If an opposing car pushes a part of your car into your body, that's like you being hit by a car while standing in front of a wall. Once the pressure wave hits your body, where is it going to go? You can't be "thrown clear" through the back of your own car.
- freehunter 7y agoIf you honestly believe that, I recommend reading the crash test results linked in other comments or finding them on your own. This isn't a hypothetical, it's actually been tested and this "you will die instantly" is complete nonsense.
- themagician 7y agoUhhh in neither of those instances did you get hit by anything with substantial mass. If you did, you’d be dead. Survivor bias.
