crash test BRAT video

Featured Replies

did better than I thought.although the drive still ate the steering wheel..

Looks like the exhaust broke off right from the Y pipe. Wonder how about someone riding in the jump seats would take that kind of crash.

WOW!

 

That is much much better then i expected for that year car.

 

The passenger compartment did not deform at all. Steering wheel is gonna hurt but its made for that deflection.

 

Jump seats are suicide seats in essence.

yes yes yes , subaru was ahead of its time on many things

They shoulda tossed a couple of dummies in the jump seats.

Don't forget about the primitive "airbag" sitting on the engine... :)

 

It didn't look like the dummies were belted in. Not so sure how the rear seat passengers would fare... sitting backwards their backs would take the brunt of the hit, but I imagine that the recoil with only a lap belt would be brutal.

 

All in all, I was amazed at how well it stood up, I always wondered.

It says 78-93.... But that model finished in 81? And in Australia we had the gen2 until 94. So what country does that video come from?

I was thinking that too... like some dummy 10 year olds or something... to see how badly children could be injured in them.

hmmm, i think i will get them harnesses in sooner than i first thought, my steering wheel sits closer than that, cause its a deep dish sparco, and its on a diff hub, and its a bit more solid

 

oh well, it done alot better than i thought! looks pretty solid almost!

 

glad to see im not driving a complete death trap then! :P
