If you drive a crap car and try to impress us with speed we're not gonna care sorry to say.
The last time I was impressed was not to long ago in a 04 TRD 6 speed Toyota Celica being drive by my friend Dan, funniest asian you'll ever meet the guys awesome lol I didn't ask him to 'show off' but the guy naturally seemed to weave in and out of traffic on a regular street goin bout 130. Burned out places a couple of times. I wasn't totally feelin safe, but hey it was a sweet car and the guy used to own a 01 Porsche(sp) lol And if I'm gonna die in a car it was at least better than a crap car lol

I mean yes that can happen but to kill someone? She was stopped he hit her from behind of course it pushed her ahead but I can't see that killing someone you would have got pushed/throw abit but I wouldn't think she would have been killed???

dude, all the point of that video is,... is to prove a point. I see more people disecting that video, then I do people understanding the point its trying to tell. I used to speed lots on my 750 Ninja Streetbike. Looking back, I cant believe I didn't kill myself. Stupidity behind the wheel (or handlebars) kills, especially when accompanied by speed.

I was nailed by a Paving truck at a stoplight. I was in a 92 Toyota xcab 4x4, manual trans. I always have my foot on the break. This idiot missed the fact that the light was red, locked up his brakes and hit me at about 15 km/h. Pushed my box into the cab and launched me halfway through the intersection. If someone had been walking in front of my truck they would have either gone flying or been pinned under the front end and more than likely would have sustained a head injury of some type. Mass has a lot to do with it as well as speed.
I thought the video was well done and illustates a very valid point, too bad they did not release it here. To try and pick it apart and find flaws with it, well fly at 'er if you must, but that was not the point of it in the first place.

People have died from falling off the bottom step of a ladder....don't think for a minuet that she COULDN'T have been killed.....head injuries are really serious....so unless any of you are brain surgeons, how can you say she wouldn't have been killed?
On another note....Mr.Bigshot wasn't going that fast, That Suzuki/Tracker....is a bit heavier than the Celica, or whatever the other car was, so I doubt very much that it was pushed very far or hard. Also, the truck obviously sits much higher than the car...the front of the car would likely have slipped under the truck and pushed in the hood.....not dented the lower part of the bumper.
