    I rolled my 2003 XC90 off a freeway in California back in 2015. I was going ~70 mph (~113 kph). I walked away from the accident with nothing but a bruised knee and a minor cut in my hand. I'm sure I get fairly lucky, but the car sure as hell helped a lot. Even after flipping end over there was only 1 spot where the frame bent.

      in 2013 it was the day before my birthday and I was in a Ford truck with my grandpa and we were on the highway doing 50 in pouring rain and someone clipped tor back left taillight and my grandpa lost control of the truck. it rolled over but the scary part was when my grandpa wasn't in the truck. he was ejected out the window and broke almost all his ribs, broke his c2 vertebrae in his neck, brushed his heart, had a concussion, broke his right shoulder blade, and lots of other things I don't remember. since then he has had a heart attack, 2 strokes and he had an infected rib plate which just healed. he was in the ice for 3 months and he was in the progressive care unit for 1.5 months. once he was home he apoligized for missing my birthday. I had I cut on my wrist and I cut on my leg. that was it because I had my seat belt buckled. long story short WEAR A SEATBELT!!!!!! now I am 10 and to this day I hate being in the car in the rain

    I wonder what would have happened if I'd been in one of these when I crashed my truck. I went through a deeper ditch, but I missed the culvert when I launched over the field entrance. Given that I was in a truck and had no weight in the back, I ended up slamming nose down for the first impact before continuing over. I bet this wouldn't have gone onto the roof like my Toyota did. At the very least, I'd hope the windshield wouldn't have gone flying away with my dash cam.

The accident rate would obviously go down, the fatality rate would most probably increase though. Anyway, the point was that all our new safety equipment (seat belts, air bags, driver aids, crumple zones, etc) can give the driver a sense of indestructibility and thus, some decide to drive like idiots.

It bottomed out all 4 tires and landed in the ditch on the other side of the culvert 40 feet from where it took off. I put it in 4wd and drove out of the ditch and home. After an alignment, it ran and drove just as good as normal. Looks kind of crappy now, though.

    I've never seen a culvert that was cut off on a 45° angle. They are always vertical and have stone or concrete walls around them.

    I applaud their trying to be the safest car/svu out there. I just ordered a XC 90 T8 inscription last week with a 2 month wait. The problem with crashes is the sudden stop that your organs/ neck can't sustain causing death from internal bleeding and neck fractures. No amount of safety can eliminate this, for now.

      +MrGamegast That's why the cars gets a lot more damaged now days during a crash - to make the crash time longer. Volvo cars are also designed to deform in a way so the car slides sideways from the obstacle they hit.. so that the car keeps going instead of a full stop. With that said if you crash into a telephone pole the car might slide to the side of it and keep going before it stops, reducing the force by a tone compared to a car that fully stops at the pole. I saw a few crash test when cars were tested on crashing into a small overlap on IIHS Volvo were the only car that were still traveling forward after the collision. Search for "2016 Volvo XC90 small overlap IIHS crash test" on UA-cam to see what I mean.

      This Car should have rolled over when it hit the ground. Simple Physics proves that. The fact that it did not roll over proves, they got it right.

      @FreerunMediaService 8 років тому +28

      +legioner9 : If somebody is into the extreme of things, this isn't a ditch but then, this isn't a high performance car and isn't running at speeds above 120mph. This clip doesn't show you what grand theft auto would look like, this clip shows what a normal roadway with a normal car would do in such a situation. This shows what could happen to you when you drive a car at 50mph on a normal road. That is what crashtests are for.

    • @FreerunMediaService
      @FreerunMediaService 8 років тому +13

      +donkeydicked : You think so? I think that that same Hyundai would roll over, crashing every pillar it has, inguring everyone in the car in such a way, only a dentist would know who is who. Not to mention if they ever could retreved from that car.

    but what would have happened if the car would have ACTUALLY hit that pipe in that ditch? Cos in that test, you can see it at the end of the video @ 6:14, the tires did not hit the pipe. The pipe went under the car and then the car just left the ground nose up from the ditch without hitting the pipe

  • @tomburton8239
    @tomburton8239 4 роки тому

    Actually the XC90 is not as safe as you’d think. A few examples: (a) there are so many safety things beeping at you it’s quite a distraction; (b) the proximity warnings go off at weird times e.g. a bike passing 4ft away while you’re stationary in a traffic queue; (c) the distance-controlled cruise control deactivates when you use your indicator - so you accelerate into the car in front; (d) the auto-stop doesn’t work below 4mph - so the car will happily drives slowly into anything in front in, say, a traffic queue. Oh, and the automatic speed sign alert if wrong 35%of the time - I’ve lost count of the number of times I’d be driving down a dual carriageway at 70mph when the “30mph” alert screeches - because it had seen a side road speed sign. It goes on.
