Deeply Scary : In-car video of a 'no-seatbelt' crash

Take a look at this video.

 

Watch the drivers' eyes - he nods off at the wheel and then obviously goes off road down some embankment and rolls the car. He ends up in the BACK of the car.

 

amazing..

ps. also - watch the display at base of screen - they've got frontal and side G-meters in the car.

When he initially goes off road, there's a Side-G of -6.8 (goes red). Then later he gets a frontal of 7.9G or something. Difficult to read peak levels. Must've been crash research company or something installed cams and G-meters in a whole load of cars. What a freaky vid.

I've crashed head-on with a rock (feken rocks, they move suddenly in front of you:rolleyes: )

 

It was after a couple of spins, so the speed wasn't too high, but no seatbelt, no airbags, nothing (Autobianchi A110 abarth for those who know old cars)

Braced myself really hard, the steering wheel (small & "sporty") was bent by my hands, but no injuries (car was bent badly, a writeoff)

 

If I were asleep or unprepared I'd have gone through the windscreen probably.

Never-ever have I driven without a seatbelt again (that was almost 20years ago)
