Subaru: A Harrowing Story of Safety
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2015
- On January 7, 2015, Subaru owner Graham Sharp found new reasons to love his Impreza-many new reasons. Listen as he retells the story of a blinding snowstorm, a chain reaction accident and a narrow escape-an incident that caused him to thank Subaru for saving his life.
I saw an accident with an Ascent and it was absolutely crushed. The driver still lived, she was seriously injured, but alive. Paramedics said they’ve never seen a car keep someone so safe.
never wanted to be in this kind of situation. God bless that you are still alive to tell the story.
Thanks to Subaru technology, Graham is alive today. Absolutely it's a marvelous creation, thank you Subaru!
Subaru, please make more of these videos! They're so incredibly amazing!
subaru for life
coming from a proud owner of a 2005 impreza rs 2.5
Subaru For Life
Coming from a VERY proud owner of a 2002 Forester Sport Premium
I still have my Forester that I bought in 2004
My 2009 Impreza 2.5i saved me and my family in December 2019 in a pileup in Alberta. Thank you Subaru!
My dad was involved in a nasty crash on AB highway 93 going north to Jasper. Even though the forester was completely totalled, everyone walked away. Some of the safest vehicles around.
God bless Subaru 🙌
Wow even Momo likes it
Thats how ya know
Indeed.
I’m 15 and 1/2 I have LOVED cars all my life (I could name almost all the brands of car by the time I was 3) I used to love Nissan a whole bunch but then my uncle got a job a Subaru ever since then I have LOVED SUBARU!!!! I knew that I wanted a Subaru for my first car and I was very lucky to find a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i hatchback for a great price!! I just got my learners not to long ago (i’m from the U.S don’t know when you all get yours) and ever since I had started driving I have LOVED IT very fuel efficient, very responsive ,VERY fun, and of course VERY RELIABLE!! Now I have even more confidence in my Subaru knowing that it is safe too, for a beginner it needs to be safe and we all knew that a Subaru would be perfect!! I really did not think a car could feel like a family member until I had my own SUBARU!! Thank you for being a great reliable, safe, and long lasting car brand!! GO SUBARU!!
It is really good that you walked away from this horror.I am glad that you had this car because it saved your life. My wife and I got a Legacy last year and we hope that never have to go through this,as you did.
God bless.
Awesome Story, I have a 2015 Impreza and it amazes me to see so many stories of survivors that lived through a crash.
Glad you came out okay! My daughter and I are also alive thanks to Subaru. In December 2014 we were driving on I-70 in Kansas and it became foggy with freezing temperatures. Someone in the oncoming traffic hit a patch of black ice and crossed over into our lane while going sideways, and hit us head-on with a combined speed of over 100mph! The front end of our 2005 Impreza 2.5RS was flattened, and the other driver's Tacoma passenger side door was touching his center console. They had to use the jaws of life to cut me out of the Impreza. We both ended up with two broken legs and needing multiple surgeries (my daughter still had both feet on the brake pedal when he hit us, and my legs hit the glovebox despite seatbelts and airbags, while the seatbelt broke 5 of my ribs). But the highway patrol told me that they would usually expect multiple casualties in an accident like this. The other driver and his dog were ejected from the truck, and both came out with just cuts and bruises (as far as I know). My daughter is now driving a 2015 Impreza Sport and I'm driving a 2017 WRX, while my son is driving a 2015 Forester XT and my Wife drives a 2013 Tribeca - we feel safe with Subaru.
Mathieu Morin they do not counter each other dude, I’m an engineer trust me, the crumple zone doesn’t even compensate for more than 20mph and he said that they hit the side of the Tacoma, which means no crumple zone on both sides only their side.
You guys survived. That’s all that mattered. You chose a great manufacturer! God bless Subaru for saving lives

Maybe safer than they used to be but Volvo is still the safest.. quite possibly would not have had such bad leg injuries if any in a Volvo of same or even earlier year model..
Martin R Subaru only keeps up with safety regulations, Volvo goes above and beyond, they have always set their own benchmarks in engineering safety as they’ve always had the knowledge that safety is an obligation and the right thing to do, they invented the seatbelt, and rather than patent it they have its design free of charge to other car companies because it was the right thing to do as it would save more lives. I wouldn’t buy any other car.
Me too today..I had an accident..now I know how good the Subaru are when bracing an impact
I'm on my 2nd Subaru a 2005 Outback and will be a Subaru owner for life. It's impressive saftey record and Winter driving ability will keep me coming back for more. I sold my 1984 Outback for $100 with 333,000 miles on it after it was knocked off the road by a drunk woman in a Cadillac. Car was moderatey damaged I was not. Thanks for sharing your story Graham!
Great story. Got my wife an imperza and she admitted that compared to a Toyota Corrolla the Imperza is heaps better and safer.
I was driving an 05 legacy and i hit black ice. i felt the car pulling, and surprisingly I was able to maintain my distance with the car in front of me and stay in a straight line. Since I was in manual mode I was able to downshift , and that allowed me to regain control and change lanes. Thank you so much Subaru. the manual mode on the automatic transmission is a life saver.
Wow, you hit black ice and not just ice. It would have been different had you hit just ice.
Still have my Forester that I bought in 2004
I just bought a 2008 forester. Man, I want to keep this car for life tbh. Theres just something about it.
Driving Subaru Forester for the last 25 years. Saved my wife, and we have nowhere else to look. We as family very happy with our choice.
I've always been a luxury car kind of guy, had 2 BMW's previously but It always let me down. I've been stranded in highways and street. I got my first Forester 3 years ago now and its a feeling I can't explain. I feel secure and a peace of mind when I'm in my Subaru. It's so reliable, simple and feels safe. You get so much safety and technology that I feel people still don't understand of what happens behind the scene when you in bad weather conditions or in just bad terrain. Subaru gives me comfort that I will get home safe. I'll always be a Subaru. Trying to get a new one now but I heard the Forester STI might be coming soon 😁, so idk. But thank you Subaru!
I’m not really a person who is brand loyal, I’ve had everything from Mazda Miata and Rx7’s to Toyotas, Chevy, etc. Subaru is the first brand that’s making me think about staying with in the family. I agree with you one hundred percent. It’s not a luxury vehicle and never pretends to be. There’s just something really unique and solid behind Subaru vehicles that relays a sense of safety and simplicity.
Subaru is the Japanese version of Saab quirky and built for head on collusion with moose.
I hope I'm not wrong, but Subaru has been the underrated car maker in the Safety area. Of all car crash test videos here on UA-cam, you notice their models constantly get high rates, past and present.
That’s crazy that the car held up. Subaru cars have been safe in my eyes because the person who bought my dads old outback had rolled his outback before at 60 km/h 7 times and walked away fine but the car was pretty wrecked
Looks like a crash that would no one would survive but thanks to Subaru he’s ok
Great Story; glad you're still here.
man i swear i fell like subaru have roll cages hidden somewhere
Wow! Subaru is an amazing machine!
Even me i recommend this car. Subaru the car of all season.
Your commercials are getting better, keep it up Subbie! I still drive you 19 years later
Hi friends. I bought subaru impreza wagon 2005 (right handed jdm), at the 1st of august i turned left on a highway (Birsk city, Russia) and made an accident with a Renault Duster at big speed, my airbags shooted right in time even i had no safety belt on me and Renault smashed my sides front corner, my car burnt because i had LPG on it, but i didnt get injures or wounds. The body and frame are very hard. The Duster was totaled, engine got backwards, roof had folded and the panel moved back. My insurance covered duster ( 400k in roubles is limit its about $7500 USD ) GOD thanks subaru made it good and even my mistake/
If only all cars could have protection like this. It would save so many lives.
Thank you Subaru for your work to keep the people who entrust your beautifully crafted vehicles every day safe.
I feel bad for those who thumbs downed this video.
Haters. Plain and simple. Maybe they own Toyota’s and have buyers remorse 😂
You don't know who to thank? Thank God!! He gave the team at Subaru the wisdom...He saved your life Graham.
no, years of R&D and dedication for safety through actual science did, god isn't real.
Thank you Subaru!
Thats my Nephew Graham of the midland Fire Dept.
Subaru was the sexiest and insanely cool cars in every country
Endless stories. A friend in a 2010 Outback was hit right at her door at full speed from an old guy who wasn't looking forward and went straight through a red light. She was 99% fine after. Amazing. I've owned nothing but Subarus since 2000.
Although i now have a cayenne, the Subaru long since sold........my 03 STI blobeye prodrive was and will be forever the best car I'll ever have owned.
I have a 2002 Subaru forester too and I love it. best car SUV ever
And to think my aunt got one after her dodge was a lemon and she has been loyal since. Her cars have never had any issues aside from recalls over the years and the time I bumped a wall in it
treat your subaru right. it will protect you
I’m still a firm believer that Subaru took their data from their rally racing crashes (thanks, Colin McRae…you legend!) and applied that knowledge to make their road cars safer. Most all manufacturers are safe in 2024 but there’s a reason Subaru isn’t just safe, but legendary in their safety ratings. Subaru is second to none
Just looking at the Impreza shocks me. You were EXTREMELY lucky to get out alive and to choose a good car. I am getting a Forester XT.
unbelievable lucky to be alive go Subaru!
Subarus are so safe wnd he was alive and consious! He walked away.
Sorry but my mom has a Subaru Legacy 2012 and I LOVE IT sooooooooo much it's so cumfey
I have a Subaru Legacy limited edition 2017 got 1 month ago and got a Subaru forester
I love them
White out conditions do not happen in a flash. You should have been slowing down in those kind of driving conditions, that way you could have probably avoided a collision.
Only he would know. Hope that doesn’t happen to you
He never actually mentioned which year or model it was though
Impreza 2007-2011
Us to own 2001 legacy outback ll bean edition steel miss that car... i crash 3 time 2 could finish with death... car was steel driving and i sold it... bought 203 000 ml have never fix anything exempt brakes sold it 245 000... will never by another brand... now i own 2015 xv crosstreck... thanks subaru god bless you all
One would think that other auto manufactures would instill SAFETY n2 their cars as well? For instance, my 03 focus doesnt even have ABS... I MEAN C-mon 4real??? My 1992 Pontiac had ABS yet 11yrs later, ford is still pinching pennies & putting $$$ over lives. I obtained this focus because it is all my finances allowed at that moment yet I have spent triple that fixing it up so, In heinsight, maybe I should have waited & percured a nicer automobile..The more I learn about Subaru,the more I like what I see!!!!
I was so scared when i saw the car I all most cried
I was driving subaru over 15 years. And for practicality a bought jeep grand cherokee. a what a mistake I have made. Subaru despite being smaller still capible to take large cargo inside and it's more responsive and safer and easier to drive.
Really good, reliable, durable cars. This horrific crash was more about great fortune than any belief of superior build quality -for as decent as Subaru is, it's clearly evident that over-use of weight-saving body panels (among many other weight-saving measures ) will result in an accordion-like crumple that would be anything but laudable.
pj
What he should have said was, 'Thank God there was no one else in the car with me ..............'
Subaru’s are safe. We have two for that very reason. However, in any accident there is always the factor of luck. The worse the accident the more it OEM’s into plays. His car was a big factor...but so was luck.
Sad
Me tooo have similar story of major accodent in 2018 Nov 25 , i really wanted to give a review to subaru , refer . It was a major accident , a car crossed red signal around 100+ speed and hit me , i was driving subaru legacy, grace of almighty my car rotate twice and car was majorly hitted and stopped .
Nice
Front passenger would have been likely dead...
My opinion this not about the car safety. Can you imagine if there would be 4 ppl in the car!! Thanx God you were by yourself could be worse.
Wow
What is that
And you think an Alfa Romeo 159 wouldn't be at least the same in safety or even better? Or any other cars.. Subaru is safe but what is this stuff going on here?
Comment the Subie you love and own, I’ll go first, 1999 Subaru WRX GC8👇🏽
2008 Impreza wagon!
That was luck. If anyone was in the car other just one person would of not faired as well.
Meanwhile my dad’s Nissan was completely smashed by a Miata
So glad we got rid of that Nissan it was a moneypit and a weak tin can of a car, never again
That’s why we have roll cages boys
Need a real car like my first gen Subaru Legacy 1992 no air bags in the bad boi hahah
RallyNZPassion drivers airbag was actually an option in 92, standard in 93
If he had his family with him on that car that day they might not have made it alive like he did judging from how the front passenger and the back seats had been squeezed like a lemon.
When a suby saves your ass you kinda a have a new respect for it, like it sacrificed itself for you.
I had an 19 STI and it was like it could think for you, It knew what you were doing. Every time i had a close call, i would think about the team of engineers in Japan that spent maybe 50+ hrs a week in the design lab... resulting in a car that just keeps giving.
I'm really glad he lived it it was my mom's 2015 Toyota Highlander I probably would of died
So what you were saying is that you were following too closely.
and driving too fast for conditions
And yet thank God no one was hurt. He’s not the first and definately not the last. I see my share of moron drivers every moment.
like what happen to my wife subaru liberty,,she drove..when she hit on the passenger side..by suv..this was in sydney..2/17/16..total write off....very lucky she..just had a broken wind shield and bit shaky.. she is alive..minor brushes.if not subaru liberty 2008..the frame and body,,save her for worse..
So... the thumbs down are from people that hate life, I assume. ¯\_( ツ)_/¯
Subaru is Volvo of Asia in terms of Safety but still Volvo leaps and leads!
He’s not alive due to Subaru if he had a Volvo he would have been better off this video is what you call luck.
Always buy subaru vehicles!!
