Dang, that's pretty scary. If you can't see the embedded video below, click here.



Think the driver might have survived?

I think China was the same country for another crash test I saw, in which only the left side of the vehicle was connecting. It plowed neatly forward until just short of the windshield, leaving the right side basically unblemished. An appalled forumite asked if it was made of heavy-duty aluminum. The truck above must be light aluminum.

Its actually a vw transporter. not chinese. this is from early euro crash testing experiments at 80 and 100kph. the data they gained was useless for obvious reasons and why standard tests are done at muck lower speeds. youtube people just ride the chinese crash test bandwagon.
