Great reminder of what 4800 pounds of highly engineered metal can withstand. If anyone has a problem with the X5's weight, show them this video! Many instances of X5's surviving bad accidents fill this site. Notice, the windshield didn't even break!

On the X5 it looks like the seatback let go as well as the seatbelt. Isn't the seatbelt tensioner supposed to prevent the belt from loosening in a crash?

The Landwind looks identical to the Isuzu Rodeo

I think it was the rear armrest folding down, not the seatback. I don't know if the belts were buckled, either.
