i always thought of the impact being most painful, but now i can see how sliding on the rough pavement and be even more painful...wow
I'm going out on a limb here and assume that their goal might be:
"You get hit, you don't die."
Haha
Notice how the SUV hits the pedestrian dummy fairly high on the body, throwing him out in front (possibly to get run over by the SUV). A sedan would hit the pedestrian lower down in the legs, sending the pedestrian over the top rather than out front. This is one reason why trucks and SUVs tend to be deadlier for pedestrians than cars, and gives the engineers more of a challenge to reduce the damage they do. Of course, if the vehicle is speeding too fast, any design will be deadly.
Yes, and hoods have only been getting taller and higher, making them more dangerous. Plus large pickup trucks make up a startling amount of new car sales. You ain’t rolling over those
12 yrs later me watching this video with 2 prior broken legs and wrist 💀💀💀and still recovering I did indeed get hit low because of my height.
Who else is just watching this to see bodies fly?
me
+The Golden gamer Me!
me i love ragdolls
Me
Me
has any one noticed that the dummy has some nice shoes on lmao
the most advanced crash test dummy, it can talk:
"oh my god, please don't do this" 3:32
The Dummy is so advanced it feels pain.
Poor Dummy... :(
HOOOOLY crap.. I don't wanna walk near cars anymore. HAHA I love how one of the dummies has his hands over his err... jewels. lol.
Wow, they basicly tell you what car to use if you want to mow down pedestrians...
Ford F-350 is your safest bet if you want to do the most damage, large/heavy truck with fairly fast acceleration and a high bumper. You could put a heavy duty brush guard on the front of the truck to cause even more damage but make sure the truck doesn’t have AEB because that will render it basically useless… you know, theoretically
Seems to be a great job !
Harvard magazine did an extensive article in 2003 on death by road crash of road side users, animal drawn carts, pedestrian and cyclists world wide.
It was figured out to be the equivalent of eleven 747's crashing every single day all year with no survivors. In the neighborhood of 20 million a year
More people die yearly from road crashes than disease and war combined. The hardest hit are third world countries with little or no emergency medical response or modern medical facilities.
This video demonstrates how some automobile makers are looking to help pedestrians to sustain less injuries when they are hit by vehicles.
Rest in pieces
I want to see the results
jesus! that dummy freaking flew!
That poor dummy....
I do agree that most people spend more money to save themselves and family inside, but protecting people on the outside is good too. If you do less to someone outside of the car means you will get sued for less if you do get sued.
It would be the difference between a few months at the hospital, or death or a coma.
Honda's so awesome
Dang, he got all broken up.
cutting edge research... running a dummy over with a car, that's really sophisticated. do they award nobel prizes for that?
This is actually really interesting and I never stopped to think of peds. I'm not sure why most below watched it as they obviously didn't like the video.
Yes, because crosswalks totally stop people from getting hit by cars.
3:32
YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
A walking pedestrian isn't going to be in the same position every time.
LOLOLOLOOLOLO...OW MAN DID YOU SEE THAT? onemore time
yeah, you won't have to worry about them anymore once you have this Honda!
Where is the cruelty against dummies group when you need em..
RIP.
LOL at the end.
You know there is something wrong when the crash test dummy costs more than the SUV it's beeing tested on...
Scientist:"Well that was a fail"
YES I FOUND A COMMENT MORE THAN 6 YEARS AGO
@PedAdvocate bumper air bags could help. They could be triggered by distance sensors on the front. Maybe they could be made strong enough to cushion accidental hits while parking too without even scratching paint. It could cost more than they are willing to spend but it wouldn't need to be as reliable as normal airbags since faulty deployment of a bumper bag shouldn't hurt anyone and lack of deployment would be no more harmful than current bumpers.
@ReggieGurl04 Acura MDX
Just make the car out of jelly and no one'll get hurt.
Is the car OK?
Cool.
I LIKE HOW THE FIRST 3 CARS WERE AUDI'S.
I never knew they tested for pedestrian crashes as well.
A friend of mine got bumped by an idiot turning right at a red light... checked the left but not the right. When we were crossing the road the van bumped my friend, then me since I was right beside him. So glad the van wasn't going fast lol. The driver and passenger looked horrified as I screamed and they hit the brakes.
lol a dummy get hit 0:36
I am glad they research this that could have been a child.
No way John O'keefe was hit by Karens car at 24mph. His body would have been hammered.
what exactly do you do when you find out that getting hit by a car hurts
Idk
1 million dollars sounds big to an average person, but its literally nothing to bigger research institutes etc
PURPLE
At the end, the wheels are blocked... That car don't have ABS?
im a ford fan too, lol hi!
@IARRCSim you'd have to make them deploy with enough margin to avoid literally shooting the pedestrian away from the car, but without making the pedestrian touch the car. I don't think it's feasible: at speed even a soft bag will hurt you and making them deploy at the right time would be hard.
All cars should be like bumper cars.
drunk drivers should have their own
lane
Haha
Good thing most pedestrians are bros flexing and showing off their muscles in the middle of the street!!!
Epic
Poor dummy..
What is the car that hit the dummy @ 00:37?
That's what I would protect...
that's why I don't use the crosswalk
You thought you'd find a comment about us only being here for classwork, but it was actually me, PENCIL
ouch!
is the dummy ok?
they could better spend that money on building crosswalks instead of the dummy
tat is effin scary!
Is this narrator the one who narrates "Perfect Disaster"?
Show name?
what speed was this at?
That's why they use dummies...
hes from that show that they show crashes and stuff
why dont they show the results?? it would give the video an actual purpose
Lol they called the MDX a "big SUV"
Sorry, I was testing if I could post a comment, youtube is not letting me post a comment on most videos today and I don't know why.
where is the curent lockation?
@aquafishsoup Same,
0:00 except suvs
21 people got hit by a car!!!! :P:P
I'm pretty sure they don't deserve any lane.
The dummy seems to be protecting its crotch from impact 2:38
why would it matter how the car hit the dummy?? You still going to be seriously hurt either way
@ReggieGurl04 Looks like a Dodge journey or a 2010 jeep grand Cherokee.
Think of how fucked up tour kness and legs would be. At the end of the video they scrape along the ground for so long.
wonder if they do the same for tanks.
@rotjesenmatjes HAHAHA XD
3:06 - end, anyone know the music there?
how big is this nationalgeographic and they cant do HD ffs
no because it's gonna blow apart because nothing holding the body parts togethor
Lucky me, that i'm not there
How did i get here from nigahiga.
This narrator...anyone know his name? He sounds familiar.
Thanks,but thats what they are using plastic and metal and why does everyone want to get in a fight I mean if someone points out the what most people know you just ignore them gosh instigators
They should make the dummies out of materials like humans so it is more realistic because we are not made of metal and plastic.
in all realism how ofen do you get hit dead center in the middle of the car, they must test them at diferent angles?
So did I :D
Ow...
@71shoelover
That vehicle was more like 4200 lbs
yeah i know right???
hello
... repeatablility... it's called reliability...
and... "30 ms... that is... 30/1000 second"... DUH!
hahahahahahah....
yes is a shame but in order to put a new car on the market this kind of test most be performed to ensure those are safe and poeple can buy them
the ending is sooo triped out
looks like he was chin surfing!
they named the kia sedona one of the safest cars of all time.
