I've always wondered why these dummy guys were always crashing - now I see they have no arms! :shock:

But seriously, very interesting to watch, and impressive. The pole crash would have been lethal in just about any vehicle before the advent of side air bags. Here is hoping we never have to test these ourselves.

Hahaha... :lol: Yes, that would make it hard to avoid oncoming objects. Wonder why those dummies don't brake though? Dummies.

Glad to know that the Focus Electric is a safe car. Not having an ICE under the hood probably improves crash results because you can have a larger crumple zone.
