Old Car vs Modern Car during Crash Test / Evolution of Car Safety

Did you just crash an old chevy just to prove that new car are safer?

Remove the o, switch the letters around, what do you get?

song name?

Hmm, it only took several decades, and multiple price points to get to where you have a better chance of surviving a 40 mph crash.

The Bell Air is RIP forever 💀

Se observar no vídeo, fica injusto por carros antigos com seus motores e parte das estruturas retiradas, contra carros novos com todos os itens de fábrica 😂😂😂 observem os detalhes e verão que faz todo o sentido!

My 1st introduction to crash test safety were the 1st cars I researched childhood heroes. The 1997 VW Polo, the 1999 Mercedes C class and a 2003 VW Golf. The 1999 Mercedes was the most unsafe of the 3 cars with it being based on the early 90s C class even with airbags it was useless. The 1997 VW Polo also built on the same kind of early 90s platform whilst not great was better than the Mercedes C class. The 2003 VW Golf MK4 that I first sat inside during 2008 was the 1st car I sat in where I could feel somewhat safe having watched the crash test knowing that the worse case scenario was serious but not life threatening injuires. In my 2016 Toyota Auris I have little risk of serious injuries and virtually no risk of death. 20 years is all it took for cars to go from death traps to being virtually death proof.

If people drive the old car they would die because the old car didn't have an airbag 😮

Almost crashed in a 30 year old car after avoiding a oblivios guy in a Nissan, I wonder if 55mph (115kmh) would make a difference compared to the roughly 40mph crash tests

man had no idea old cars suck in a crash

They're all mostly fatalities especially in advancing years. There's no safe head-on collision. Only safe when you don't collide.

Would be a better video if it had some narration explaining things. Rather than just four minutes of cars crashing and funky disco music.

"They don't make cars like they used to!" Good!

Currently.. American cars are among the worst cars in the world.. Useless cars.. Mechanical and electrical problems and oil leakage, and they do not last you more than two years.. Because of American greed, avarice, and stupidity, which is why Chinese cars are invading the world.

As an engineer, design a failure mode. If you fail to do this, one will be assigned for you.

I remember seeing a bumper sticker on an older car once, that said "No Airbags - We Die Like Real Men"

They are ruining natural selection too many dummies surviving crashes and reproducing to make more dummies

They don't build them like they use to
Me- Good.
Me also-.wonder how much they want for that 1988 honda crx? Lol

Dlaczego nie ma silników w starych autach a w nowych są???

I guess it's a good thing I got my new driver something newer instead of "a tank with metal" that my parents suggested 😮

Brexiteers do not like the EU telling them how the English should live. That is why England left the EU so the people of the UK can live in blind bless.

Considering the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air is a much heavier car (higher momentum, greater kinetic energy) with a lot more steel, and yet the 2009 Chevy Malibu passenger cabin stayed intact and protected its test dummy with deployed airbags. In the 1959 Chevy Bel Air the steering column and dashboard were driven back into the test dummy and the passenger cabin was badly compromised. This is a testament to safety engineering. The monocoque body with crumple-zone design of the 2009 Chevy Malibu outperformed the body-on-frame design of the 1959 Chevy Bel Air even though the monocoque body of the 2009 Malibu use less steel, weigh less, and more fuel efficient. Engineers are amazing human beings.

If only cars didn't get so large and heavy, it puts everyone in a car with a soul in more danger:(

C’est vraiment important d’avoir une bonne voiture .. vraiment

It's Good I Don't Drive. 😣

Bel Air: will send you up in the air

And that was just the 90s. Imagine the 50s -70s

this was a great video

why are these cars still allowed on public roads there coffins with wheels

They don't build them like they used to. Thank goodness

Oui, si on est riche ou pauvre, (vieille voiture d'occasion) les chances de survie sont très diffrentes.

2009 Malibu, what a beauty, to be destroyed.

Crashing that beautiful old 1959 Chevy Bel Air for a test was just CRIMINAL! Couldn't they have found a derelict old example to use? I was appalled.

I really don't know what all the fuss is about. There is nothing wrong with the rears of the cars. As for the fronts - a bit of T-cut and she'll be fine. 😁

I think late 80s to the early 2000s the car industry was at its worst

I remember when I got into my first accident I was driving an 02 dakota and this lady was driving some newer model jeep compass I was turning in didn't see her she hit me almost head on at about 40 on the front right corner of my truck, it totally destroyed the jeep I mean the whole center caved in and it cut off only damage to my truck was a busted headlight a dent the battery got flipped over an the radiator got punctured but she was somehow still runnin strong I could've kept it had the airbags not deployed very bad airbags btw but since they did it was deemed totaled and sent to the scrap yard I miss that truck

I know modern cars are far safer than old ones but the only car accident I was ever in was when my Dad's elderly Volvo (I was the pssenger) was hit by a modern Audi. They hit corner to corner, similar to these tests, at quite low speed & no-one was hurt in either car but the cars themselves were totally different. We drove home from the accident in the Volvo which then spent 1 day at a garage for some minor scratches to be repainted, a new piece of trim and a new headlamp fitting. Just the fitting, the bulbs were fine. The Audi was completely written off and left the scene on a flatbed, in pieces. The two vehicles looked as though they had been in two entirely separate accidents. From that day, I've never been in an Audi & I never will.

Back in my day old cars were built like tanks!

There's a reason why we don't use old tanks anymore

“You can learn a lot from a dummie….BUCKLE UP!

I will admit I was impressed but most accidents are not head on collisions either. I would like to see more of loss of control type accidents and see how they fare.

"Old is better"

🤡

I do not believe this
What is happening in the video is just deception
Cars are now one of the worst industries, of low quality, and wear out quickly
Everything in it is bad: iron, aluminum, plastic, electronic and mechanical parts

Old cars look better though. Can't they just make the honda del sol again with the new safety features?

The red car in the Euro n cap just gave up
