Notice the blue little pos car that was originally hit by the red pos car that was moving at what 70mph they say? There was nothing left, certainly if the driver survived the injury would be life changing.


Notice how the W126's crumple zones worked as designed. The front of the car deformed disapating some of the energy and leaving the important passanger compartment intact. Actualy I see no reason that all 4 doors would not work. If there was a person in the car the seat belt pre tensioners would have fired and held them against the seat. I think its safe to say that out of all the cars involved in that film the people in the W126 would have faired the best. The W126 got into the air a bit because I suspect it road up over the remains of the other cars. Which would probably not have been such a bad thing for everyone in said W126, but not for the people in the tin cans under it.

I said it before and I'll say it again, thats one of the reasons I drive MB's. They are one of the safest cars in the world, MB invests massive amounts of time and money to ensure this.
