We're sharing something a little bit different with you all today!
We've taken a look online and compiled some of the worst crash test videos we could find! We've then pulled them all together and shown them to Mat - and we're filming his reaction as he watches these cars get absolutely destroyed in crash tests!
All the video footage was taken from NCAP safety videos, so thankfully, no one was harmed in the creation of this video! But we still can't believe that some of these cars made it to production even when their safety is this poor!
Did you ever own one of the cars in this video? Let us know in the comments!

11:45 - One of my biggest fears when traffic is stopped on the expressway. It doesn't matter how strong or rigid your vehicle is. Nothing can withstand being rear ended from a speeding bulldozer going at least 70mph. Any vehicles between two semis will crumble like foil. One thing I've learned from driving on the expressway frequently is to put on your hazards if you see traffic is stopped or slowing down considerably. People behind you "should" take note and do the same if they're paying attention. What's nice is other drivers take notice and do the same while they're behind me. I learned this from seeing truckers do it frequently.
What you do is to avoid being around any idiot stopped on the roadway anywhere near or around you.
Not even going to touch a bulldozer doing 70 LOL
So true...
About a month ago there was an accident blocking an expressway in Sydney, Australia the speed was 80klm or 50 mph I did what you suggest put on my hazards always do that when there is some sort of blockage on an expressway, a great habit to get into.
I did the same when traffic stopped going to Atlanta airport in a rainy day. Had time to stop and not hitting car in front. Unfortunately, car behind me was unable to stop and got rear ended. Not too hard, just a broken rear bumper but 15 years later still have issues with neck and back injuries so you better be safe when driving. Take care, someone waits for you at home.
a lot of the safety we can thank Volvo for
Sure. But most of the problems with older cars lied with weak construction and no absorption of impact energy. A three-point safety belt, whiplash protection system or a couple of airbags are not going to save you if the engine is shoved into your eye socket.
Don't forget Mercedes - who were doing crash-tests as early as 1959.
Concept Creator My wife was in a driver side impact crash in an 80's Volvo wagon and the side door beams saved her from any injuries. The car was totalled and this happened in the 80's!
I do remember a definite point in my early childhood, when my father was made aware of 'safety' 20 years of Volvos followed. Got a real soft-spot for the 240. Took the old one as my first car when I left home. Remember stopping on the motorway and seeing the Fiat behind me not notice and get rapidly larger in my mirror. Fiat lost a bumper and got a crumpled bonnet - I had to pop a bit of plastic-chrome trip into by fat-bumper.

Older cars are better though
If you drive a classic car, wear an FIA-approved racing suit and helmet, install a roll CAGE and install six-point racing harnesses.
@@wristovah Safety-wise, they are not better at all. The downside is that the smallest impacts create large amounts of damage on new cars, but they're designed that way. In older cars, you become part of the crumple zone. You take the hit. In newer cars, you have a much more massive crumple zone. You are far less likely to take the hit.
Apart from the emissions bullshittery (dear EU, bugger off with those goddamn petrol particulate filters), I am completely on the new cars' side

It depends on how you define "modern". After 1994, most executive car from germany are still way safer than modern small Japanese car . But yeah, as technology goes, same tier car from same brand will be safer.
@@michaeltutty1540 if it's a 90's benz it's probably safer than a modern mirage lol
After watching this it's even more amazing that Richard Hammond is still alive...
it’s amazing that brian gillespie is alive. he flipped his car 15 times after losing control at 180mph and came out nearly unscathed. if you look up his name, you can find a video of it. nothing graphic is shown, just the accident from a distance. it also might show how he looked in the hospital

Cars are racist now?
Mat, you do a real service with a video like this, reminding us all of the value of the regulations that have provided for safer cars. (And, I hope, reminding folks to look at test results when buying, and to press car makers for improvements.) Now, if we can make drivers understand their part in safer driving.
If we can possibly avoid collisions in the first place that goes a long way. Yet there are a lot of ways in which cars are less safe than they were. The proliferation of 4wd vehicles that are heavier and have their strong axis at a different height is one way that we have created new hazards.
@@smitajky True, you're still better off in a modern car though.

I have weekly nightmares about getting stuck in a car wreck. I had a crumple zone class during a school year, and I'll never get over it. My ex gf also had that class, and 18 years later we found out we both have had the same nightmares all this time.
Imagine getting squeezed until stuff comes out of both of your ends. Yeah no I’m never setting foot in something that’s not modern.
What's a crumple zone class??? I'm 49 so never had such things...
@@solcutta3661 Well, that was a really bad word-for-word translation, and I see now that it's wack. I'll try again, but please give me some slack, I've never been in a english speaking learning enviroment. It was 3 hours a week describing us how cars fold in accidents, to learn us how to straighten it out so it was safe afterwards. Just endless videos of dummies crushed to splinters.
@@solcutta3661 A funny thing about all of this is that the nightmare was breaking the femure in a loud popping manner, and being stranded alone. I did that July 23., but on an electric scooter at 5 AM on a cementary. I landed on top of my phone, and couldn't get it out of my pocket. It was twisted until it snapped and had shrapnel up and down. The lower part of the femure cracked all the way through the "dog-bone" part. I screamed for 20 minutes, was at the hospital in 40, so it didn't seem mortal, tbh. Now I have 39 stitches, ton of screws, plates, and a stainless steel brace(?) from my hip to the knee.
@@basstrammel1322You were traumatized by watching dummies in car accidents? I’m not trying to come off as rude, but how is that traumatizing?
10:33 A couple of years ago (right as I got my license) I saw a small money transporter wedged under a trailer right up to the B-pillar. Just like in the first test the trailer's "bumper", that was supposed to prevent that had simply folded in, doing NOTHING to protect the poor guy in the transporter. Glad to see that finally someone had the sense to reinforce these "bumpers" with additional diagonal support bars, but it's probably gonaa take at least a decade until most trailers will have that. (and then there's also trailers with a forklift attached to the back, hanging just at headheight of normal commuter cars) Needless to say, I keep extra distance from trucks, cause I don't wanna get crushed like an insect by a stupid trailer!

Our family used to own a Pontiac Transport/Montana from the early 2000s. When I saw the crash test of that one from IIHS my heart sank. It's criminal how GM was allowed to sell a van meant for family transport that had failed so miserably in a crash test.
The Toyota Previa from the mid 1990s also did horribly in crash tests but that is where technology was at the time.

10:56 That bar is called the "Mansfield Bar" in the USA, named after the actress Jayne Mansfield, who, after a bizarre career that included becoming a Satanist, making a record with Jimi Hendrix and allegedly being tricked into drinking John Lennon's urine, died when the hood of her Buick Electra ran under a trailer which sliced off the windshield and forced the hood into her head. The press spread rumors that she had been decapitated, but that was from seeing her wig, which flew off, left in the wrecked car. Over the years, the standards for the reinforcement behind the bar have been improved to keep it intact during more severe crashes.

Me, who drives a 1998 vw golf gti: "Chuckles I'm in danger"
If it’s a MK4 they did quite well back in the day. 4 stars in the 1998 test. My brother had a head on in his MK4 and came out with only very minor injuries thankfully. They had a reinforced chassis, belt pretensioners reinforced doors, anti submarine seats, 4 airbags as standard (including side) and collapsible steering column. All had ABS as standard as well and later ones ESP too. You could get curtain airbags as an optional extra also Definitely not as safe as newer gen Golfs though, but probably one of the best cars from the time. From the MK5 onwards they’ve all got 5 stars
@@danl4252 oh no, it's one of the last Mk3s with a 2 star safety rating. Guess I just have to not crash
@@lachland1379 ah right ok. Well depends how you look at it. Would rather crash in a MK3 than a MK2, for sure. Drive safe mate :)
It's all down to luck...
@@danl4252 yeah that is right. My dad once had a terrible side crash on our Ex-Vw Golf Mk4 Variant and he survived only by that car with only one minor scratch on his knee. The car was nearly collapsed,the two side doors were destroyed,airbags too,3 windows broken,2 aluminium wheels broken and the back axle totally seperated from the car. My dad stopped at a crossroad and a son of a bi*ch came with 120 km/h on a road with 30 km/h speed limit. His car was totally destroyed too,but we fixed ours some months later and sold it
Coincidence, my family and I were on holiday in 1960 in Ontario, Canada, when an errant Moose decided to cross the motorway we were traveling on. The car we were traveling in was a 1959 Chevrolet We took a side hit from the moose. Moose didn't make it. We all survived with just some bruising. No seat belts and no airbags. Christ,we were so lucky it wasn't a head on.
9:19 this is how i feel about riding motorcycles now. after a few crashes and a lot of petrifying thoughts of getting “crumpled” i just can’t handle it anymore
The saying "They don't make em like they use too" All I can say is ...thank goodness !
even the safest cars suffer as they get old due to corrosion... the safety passenger cell is more likely to fail if there is any corrosion on structural parts
@@iainansell5930 This is true, hopefully the MOT check-over should reduce that from happening...
Yeah, I watched a video of two Chevrolet caprice. One was brand new and the other was 7 years old. Exactly the same body style and the 7 year old car folded during the same impact.
Did you know the 2019 Mustang has a zero star N-cap rating they still can't get it right.

Do it in a modern car and you will just have minor cuts and bruises and a sore neck for a days how times have changed
At least my mangled corpse will be surrounded by some beautiful classic metalwork.
I think the same. I don't give a 💩 about security or economics. I want a nice car. That's the reason my new I bought a few weeks ago is a 30 year old Mercedes Diesel. You drive through a brick wall and the wall is broken and the Merc is still ok and I'm still alive.

I'm so happy that safety in cars has been improved.
Unfortunately stupidity level of drivers has also increased. Now we have people texting on their phones while driving. That obviously didn't happen back in the 90's.
Only inside the cars. If you are walking or on a bike/moped they've not changed much, and that's where the vast majority of the danger actually is. This report shows it well: www.pacts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/PACTS-What-kills-most-on-the-roads-Report-15.0.pdf Concentrating on occupant safety is not reducing overall road danger any more.
@@Wookey. There's not all that much that can be done to make a collision safer for people outside the vehicle. The best thing to do is improve collision avoidance systems, and the manufacturers are doing that.
@@eugene9852 There are lots of things that can be done. The primary ones are: reducing vehicle mileage, reducing vehicle speeds, segregating cyclists, removing vehicles from urban areas, improving visibility (especially from large vehicles), reducing driver distraction, reducing bonnet heights and making the fronts of vehicles smooth and giving. That your best guess included none of those suggests you've not thought about this much.
@@Wookey. On the other hand you could buy a massive pickup truck with bull bars. You won't be any safer and neither will the pedestrians, but everybody will think you're a macho man, which is what counts.
Great Video Mat. Makes you a bit nervous driving on the motorway though lol. When i first began my driving lessons about 17 years ago. The instructor turned up in a Rover metro, I found changing gears in this car so awkward, and the car so crap, I changed driver instructor! I passed in a Clio, and currently drive a 2020 Kia which has all the technology safety gubbins. Cars have come such a long way in recent years, in terms of automatic safety measures. Only a matter of time before we just climb in and instruct our robot car where to take us.
Brilliant video - I'm in the process of looking for an affordable first car each for my 2 kids. I just was looking at what was cheap to buy and run. Now I'm going to look at the euro ncap rating as the top priority - I had never appreciated how different the levels of protection different cars offer. And if they can't afford the fuel consumption then too bad. Less miles will be safer too.
I learnt to drive on a ‘58 BelAir Chevy. One of the few cars big enough in Australia at the time to hold a family of 8. I think there were at least 6 turns of the steering wheel lock to lock and the body was cracking at the back from the weight of the boot. And of course had the wonderful GM powerslush (Powerglide) auto transmission.
and the wonderful GM safety features...
@@ccitationx7045 Another one of G. M.'s "safety features" is their take on "Automatic Seat Belts" from the late 1980s to around the early or mid 1990s. You know, the type that has the belt attached not to the B pillar, but to the *door?*

I had a seicento as my first car 8 years ago. I remember having one corner jacked up to swap a wheel over and I couldn't open the dooors due to the body flexing 😂
Every driver should have to watch this sort of video - not just when starting to learn, but at regular intervals to stop them becoming complacent.
Yea….saw a special on car safety. Lots of safety was learned from and the importance of crumple zones was from NASCAR crashes. That’s why those cars shatter from impact, but most drivers walk away!
I feel like that last crash illustrates the danger of being on the freeway (in the US) during icy weather. Automatic emergency braking will only do so much when it doesn't have a high coefficient of kinetic friction to work with. During the cold weather in Texas, I saw footage from the pileup that made it look like this video played out in real life over and over again:(
Can't tell whether it's appropriate to upload this after Grosjean's horrifying crash in Bahrain yesterday...
I dont understand yall people. Why is everypne so serious. We should be happy hes alive and smiling. Like after other big crashes (maybe not with fire) not a lot of people were that serious
He is alive and has some minor injuries, i mean its a part of motorsport. And i mean just because he crashed we cant make videos about crashtest anymore?
Sjw baby
With that logic no one should ever upload a video like this on the basis that thousands of road accidents, some of them fatal ones, happen at any moment
@@januscher7877 Obviously I'm extremely happy that he is alive, but just the way that that Haas just absolutely tore in half and he was wedged between the armco truly made me wonder if he was still alive. There were so many factors that were just plain lucky, if it hadn't happened on the first lap, the medical car would've been very, very far away and the entire story could've been completely different. When that car burst into flames, I definitely thought Grosjean had died because I've never seen a fire quite so gigantic in recent times, not after refuelling was banned.
I like these type of reaction videos. You should do more of these😏
My big takeaway from this is when buying a car you need to consider how long ago it was designed. This isn't always straight forward since sometimes a design is reused or an old car in made to look new. Rover 100 very much a case in point, it's based on the metro from the early 80s. The Saxo was also a rebadged Pugeot 106 so the design was several years old when released.
Anything post 2010's going to be half decent.
After I saw the Malibu crash into the Bel Air, I can safely say that I would rather have modern safety features like air bags and seat belts than risk being impaled by a rigid steering column.
Yes but the Malibu is a crappy car compared to the belair style over safety anyday
@@mdclassics9242However that Malibu crushed the Old Crock!!!!😅
Sigh, it is always easy, to compare apples to oranges, ie., old classics, to new cars with a multitude of safety features. One must remember, that at the time of design/build, the classic Chevy, was designed/built with the most advanced technologies available at the time. That is why people buy new cars, to get all the new 'stuff', that comes with technology advances. The Government loves this agenda, as the buying of new autos, generates multi-billions in taxes, that surely benefit Government spending agendas. New cars are incredibly expensive when one includes all ALL the costs involved, including depreciation. I drive less than minimally, my fairly nice 74 Monte Carlo. runs pretty good, passes smog, no car payments, A/C ice cold, and no car payments/depreciation. I somewhat chuckle when I see people with 'fancy' new cars, that must cost them $1000 A MONTH!!! when all costs are factored in.

That malibu crashing into the back of a lorry was actually how one of my neighbor's kid passed away. Kid and his 3 friends were going home from hanging out til late night. They were in a pretty new Camry. I believe the police report said the accident happened around 1 AM. The wreck was...awful. The entire roof was open like a can. IIRC one of them survived but was in a coma.
perfect timing of that video only a day after grosjeans nearly fatal accident
10:25 The guy : *lowers the seats* Holy moly that was close . I think if so he would be alive.
Move up a few years to 1965 and later, past the x-frame era, and the results are different. X frame car bodies relied on the weaker rocker panels for rigidity so any rust compromises it a lot. Perimeter frames protect the occupants much better and when door bars were mandated inside side doors, it added a lot of side impact safety. Pair up a 1974 full size GM car with full perimeter frame and 5 mph bumpers with that Malibu and the driver of the old GM car will be walking away while the Malibu driver will be leaving in a hearse.
Yep, I have them door bars, in my 74 Monte Carlo!

That's so typical of psychopaths, always blaming someone else! 🙄 (just kidding. The ability to suppress compassion and not get overwhelmed by shock when witnessing horrible accidents doesnot make you a psychopath, it actually makes you a valuable helper. It's an important ability in the face of catastrophe. It's having no compassion at all, that makes someone a psychopath!
@@LRM12o8 um, about that lacking compassion part.
At the beginning of KZhead before dashcams I was amazed that I was quite calm and collected when I came across a head on crash with a car and truck in Scotland. Even though this poor girl (about 14) had half her face hanging off I kept talking to her until the ambulance arrived, but it's still fresh in my mind 13 years later. I hope she survived.
I think I got more scared because of your expressions being so real. Enough to make me subscribe. ;)
This is a real eye opener, especially seeing it in slow-motion
I was just watching crashing cars and no video was new like just this one's notification poped
“Oh it’s alright, it has an airbag.”
Famous last words.
Back in 1967 there was an accident involving a famous Movie Star who's name was Jayne Mansfield who's car she was a passenger in rear ended a Trailor truck one foggy night in Mississippi. She was in the front seat along with the driver and her boyfriend and her children were in the back seat sleeping. It was a huge car (1967) Buick Electra 225. The car went completely under the trailer killing the adults in the front seat. The accident occurred June 29, 1967. Her children sleeping in the back seat survived. You know her daughter who is an actress named Mariska Hargitay. NOW as for the bar on the back of trailers - they are called Mansfield Bars after Jayne. After her accident the NTSB mandated all trailers be fitted with this devise to provide some safety for automobile passengers involved in rear end collisions with Tractor Trailers.
I once crashed a VW Golf2 from the year 1987 with speed around 45km/h into another VW that was parked on the side of the road. My car barely got any damage and there were no airbags going off. Only seat belt and I just got a little scratch on my elbow. The parked car got pretty smashed though. I was even able to drive off from the scene after the exchange of insurances.
Matt Wow this was scary. In many cases, the occupants (if real of course) would have been decapitated, pulverised, squashed to death or in the last case completely vapourised into little more than a grease slick. One rule from the last part - do not drive in the same lane as lorries/trucks and if you do, leave them well alone.
His reactions are hilarious especially at 7:08
When I was a kid in 1967 I witnessed the outcome of a highway accident with fatalities. The cars were steaming heaps of shredded parts and there were bodies lying around on the road hundreds of feet apart. In even older crash films you see the tremendous dust fly out from the wood frames of cars in the 1910's, 1920's etc.
Yup, yet the silly FanBoys hark back to a golden age of car safety! Fools
It would be nice, wouldn't it, if we could go back in time and redesign the old classics, to include all the latest safety innovations.
You should do more reactions to horrible Crash tests
Ive got a 1997 classic Mini and after seeing this, I think I’m going to put it up for sale 😱😱
I drive a mini too. Just install a rollcage.
Just don't crash it and you will always be safe.
@@BelguimLover bruh what kind of advice is that????? Anybody else can bump into you car!
@@NRGamingBD i know, or perhaps drive on sunny days or plan routes where there are not so much traffic or cars.
@@BelguimLover woah dude I wasn't expecting the reply so fast lol
Imagining Matt's reactions to the Crash Tests of current MS cars😂😂
I don't think he literally has any idea on what Maruti Suzuki is and that is such a classic TATA fanboy thing to say dude please don't do that as far as we are in India we can do whatever we want! See we need to accept that the Nano is actually not a safe car. We do have some really safe cars but Nano just isn't one of them. Just keep the pride of us TATA fanboys intact. Like meme pages weren't enough to defame us these guys may also start of so please keep it intact.
Rip every S presso owner🤣 congratulations on your brand new ticking time bomb.
@@sushilumasankar1895 Nano isn't safe cuz it was built to meet the needs of Middle-Class people who rely on bikes,and hence Ratan didn't care abt safety.Now,when it comes to safety,it is Tata.And I don't say MS makes amazing cars,they do.It is just that they suck in Safety.So,please don't get annoyed and IK how to tackle guys who judge Tata just through the Nano!
To be fair guys, Tata cars aren't safe, they are only safe compared to other Indian cars. If they did a Europ Ncap test - rarther than the easier Global Ncap test they would do badly. Of course, so would Maruti, the Indian KIA's, Indian Hyundai's etc.
@@benrgrogan Mate,you are wrong.You have to see the real-life scenarios of Tata car accidents.Even Big Trucks can't damage them a lot!
Wow! Thx for sharing m8. Lot food for thought there. Omg!!
Thank you so much bro for this video.. make me wake up, how terrible the structure of the car. Hope to see another video like this. Best regards from Indonesia. 👍👍
Anybody saw yesterday's f1 crash
Yea. Horrible one
Didn't see it but heard a lot from it
That was absolutely brutal but eye opening at the same time! Good Video Matt!
Love Mat's reaction at the last crash (11:48) and when he says "Everyone's dead... Well if you enjoyed the video..."
More of these, please!!
