This is a video I made at work with my friend. I recorded the footage during some crash testing for NHTSA. We do lots of testing so I might consider adding more footage (from stuff I'm allowed to release, anyway!) The facility is called, "KARCO Engineering, LLC." Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Cobalt in that order. Music by Metallica "Whiplash".

  • Not lying....

    I'm not lying... I work at a crash test facility and this is some of the footage that we're allowed to release to the public without getting into trouble with the clients. Believe it or not. I don't really care at all. If it suxxx, why?

    • Technically my title is "Photograph...

      But really, all I do is set up the high speed cameras and prepare the vids for the client.

  • Well...


    Apart from the view of the undercarriage (which i thought was very interesting), it was all stuff i've seen before.

    • Needs to be longer!

      We need a good 10 minutes of this type of video.

    • Longer, you say?

      I did make a longer version, which you can view by checking out my other videos ( Click on my name, or lack thereof )

  • Ouch...

    Gees... Have you noticed that maybe nobody would be able to survive a hard crash from the sides?

  • Question.

    Question.
    1. How fast was the SUV driving head on?
    2. How fast was the ram machine going?

    Other than that, the footage was great and very educational.
    A little more please. Any head on crashes to the front left side of a vehicle? I hear this is more the standard way of testing. Is this true? Thanks.

    By quietsalmon 1154455971
    • Answer.

      The SUV was going 35 mph.
      The ram was going 55 mph I think, but I believe it's meant to simulate a 25 mph side impact,

      By namesdontmatter 1154490827
    • Well...

      We actually don't do much of that sort of testing, to be honest. Frontal impacts are the most standard type of testing we do.

      By namesdontmatter 1154490678
    • Thanks!

      That'll do just fine. Your footages are very clear and makes them more enjoyable to watch.
      I'm amazed at what that 35mph head on crash did. That would be like a head on collision with 2 cars going only 17.5mph. Incredible what damage is done!

      By quietsalmon 1154494182
    • I disagree

      Now, one of us is wrong, and it could be me because i honestly dont know what im talking about here. But my logic tells me that even though 17.5 X 2 is 35 mph, the wall is more massive than a car, since it doesnt bend or in anyway move which means a harder impact. Maybe no-name will tell us who is right or wrong?
