Visually demonstrating how far automobile safety has come in 50 years.

^^there would be an auto eject option where the occupants of the vehicle shoots out of the car once an impact is sensed and parachutes would deploy from the seats for a safe landing

gg bel air!
is it just me or does it look like the driver of the malibu would suffer from a lot more than just minor knee injuries from that? most ppl break both legs from crashes like these. but hey, i'm no expert.

pretty impressive, however i cant help but wonder if the malibu only did so well because it crashed into something that crumples so easily. if the malibu crashed into something more solid it would have looked very different. a more fair comparison would be to crash them both against the same car. still cool to watch though
