Car safety advancement - 1959 vs. 2009
 

wow, the driver is completely crushed in the old chevy.

50 years is a long time


i wonder if its 20 years compairson....result?

^^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

holly shit, the driver of the old car got smashhheddd

So you need those huge panoramic sunroofs on every car.

so what happens when you roll your car?

What a waste of a classic car :(

that would be pretty sweet, parasuite equipped!

That's quite impressive.

Sad about them crashing the Bel Air, though. :(

i feel bad for the bel air, such a nice car

ooo malibu doesn't look that bad after lowering. lol

That would suck if you were in a tunnel..

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.

Not exactly what I would expect.

i was thinking the same thing... reminds me of the TL

Same here...I thought the Bel Air, being the beast that it is, would do better...
I'm glad I drive a car made in the 21st century :D

LOL, exactly what I was thinking when I first watched the video as well.


And imagine how safe cars will be say 20 years from now.

Notice how the glass from the Bel Air pops out and pwns the driver of the Malibu :D

Wow didn't expect that, how fast were they going?

the malibu like ATE the bel air!!!
even the windshield went flying! holy crap!

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
