WOW!

I don't think you could design a more complete crumple if you wanted to.

That crash test with the holden as well as the one featuring the VW pickup truck are not actual crash tests for vehicle safety.

What they are tests of the impact wall and facilities.  They run the cars into the wall at excessive speeds (100MPH I believe) and laden with weight to ensure the wall can handle the vehicle impacts.

From the video's page: "Special testing of new facility in 1992. Car was loaded with 375 Kg /827 lb of sand and was 100Kmh into a solid wall not alloy honeycomb. Not a real test of the car." a test crash of the holden commadore this is an old model so you will not find annything on google about it (i checked).

With that in mind, it's still awesome.
