This is an accident >:D.....happened last month, my friend was driving this car. After driving whole night from delhi to chandigarh, just 10 minutes before reaching to my house, he slept......hit a high mask light pole with a speed more than 110 KMPH....he was sleeping so no breaks were applied..... amazingly .....Absolutely no injury, not even minor.......after this accident I understood ......only one chance .....live....or leave............life......thanks to the amazing security provided by the air-bags....
This car is a total loss. He is absolutely safe. My advice to all, even if you need to stretch financially a bit...never compromise with vehicle security go for cars with airbags. If your car has air bags...get their service done on time....it's costly but ....not costly than your life.
Shows us what dedicated crumple zones can do.If the car survives a crash.its likely that the occupant has not.But if it seems destroyed,the occupant has survived most likely.
Very true on the safety aspect.ALWAYS WEAR your seatbelts.I just get so angry when people put them behind their backs >:(.Like guys who have helmets on their bikes but never use them. >:(
Its all got to with personal attitude and knowledge. If one understands the dangers involved and has the right attitude most accidents can be avoided.
Ex- I saw a lady fall off an active when she tried to remove the stand, her head cracked and started bleeding immediately. This could have been avoided it she had her helmet on - which was still on the bike.
