If that was her husband then she's a callous cunt. If not I'll get my coat and leave.  |

Re: Elderly Couple in Car Turn into Crash Test Dummies
His seat belt wasn't plugged in and airbags are dangerous when you aren't wearing one, though it's hard to tell whether it was the first impact, from the T-Bone or the airbag deployment that did the damage, probably a little of both. He was basically lying over the steering wheel when the airbag deployed, that's a lot of energy straight to the face and chest area. The passenger was lucky as fuck though |

Re: Elderly Couple in Car Turn into Crash Test Dummies
Couple of points based on comments here about safety system failures. A 3 point seat belt is primarily designed for head-on collisions, a side impact from the unrestrained shoulder side is always going to result in bad retention. It's why racing drivers wear 4 or 5 point harnesses, but road car drivers prefer freedom of movement and less restrictions over ultimate safety. The driver's airbag did deploy from the secondary impact (depending on the force vector of initial side impact, they aren't always triggered as can cause more issues if you don't hit it square, as from a head-on impact) it doesn't deploy behind the wheel, the driver has broken the wheel which then got pulled down and the bag went behind it. Everyone saying about Chinese quality seat belts and airbags...you know they are the same Chinese manufactured parts as fitted to western cars, yeah? |
