let's compare to the instant death Chinese car:

LMAO!! Instant death!! that was funny man..

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!

Geez! Hate to see it happen, even to the dummys.:rofl:

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

you want BAD BAD BAD http://youtube.com/watch?v=pfQuNsgT4...elated&search= Good job ford!

I have heard of crumple zones....but a crumple car? hmmm haha

I also like on the X5 one how the mirrors go flying off. Crummie little things. (Sorry I have mirror issues now.)

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

Wow!

Thanks to Aimster and Ryan for sharing these eye-opening videos.

• BMW X5 - walk way, live another day
• Landwind - Thankfully they don't sell those over here. The crash made it appear as if the firewall was missing. I wonder how the crash test of the CEO turned out...
• Ford F150 - Holy crap, it's a coffin on wheels.

Here's a couple of more crash tests:

Trucks and minivans don't seem to fare very well in these crash tests. :confused:
