#1 Chinese SUV scores a goosegg
Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2005 10:04 pm
The Chinese Land Wind is the first vehicle EVER score a zero rating on German crash tests.
Survival for the driver in a 40 mph crash is next to impossible, with the steering wheel rising up and snapping his neck, the seat belt strangeling him/cutting his throat and the engine block intruding into the cab, crushing his legs beyond repair.

Jiangling Motors Corporation’s Landwind X6 four wheel drive crash test video as recorded by Germany’s ADAC which conducts tests for Euro NCAP safety standards.
This video was recorded inside the passenger cabin.
Times Online reports the crash test was conducted with 2 tests, a frontal 40mph (64 km/h) crash test and a side collision at 30mph (50 km/h).
The testers calculated that the driver would likely not survive the 64 km/h frontal collision, and the side collision would result in severe chest and neck injuries.
Just look at how the steering column together with the air bag smashes into your face. Renders the air bag totally useless… your neck would definitely have snapped.
