MB cars r always very safe. It does justifies their mark-up to an extent

Only after Princess Diana's incident.Diana and Dodi died because they didn't wear seatbelts. So did the driver. Notice how the bodyguard (who DID wear one) survived.
They've been very safe even before then. MB's ALWAYS been all about safety. They invented a ton of things such as crash boxes and crumple zones that we take for granted today.
That 1m upside-down drop seems kind of lame. Wouldn't any car pretty much survive that? I'd be more interested in see how it fares landing upside down from 4-6m (for example flipping off an overpass).

if its going off an overpass its more likely to be landing into a ditch or water, even then those things are rare
the 1m drop i think was just to test the car flipping over

Ya I don't really get the short distance upside down drop. When would that ever happen?
I wonder if you have a button like that in the car that releases the doors, or if it's automatic. That was one of the huge issues with the DMC Delorean, you became trapped in the car if you were in an accident because of the gullwings.
