So true
Having a lot of experience with real world wrecks I can tell you that there is only one constant. And that is that there is none. There are far to many variables to calculated. This staged wreck can be taken at face value,that this is what will happen given this set of variables.Is it representative of real world crashes? No.
This wreck was engineered with a desired predetermined result.

Conspiracy theories aside, the 'sample of one' test result is supported by the declining trend in MVA death rates....


No conspiracy at all if you think that the wreck in that video was not staged say hello to the Easter bunny for me next time you see him.
Deaths are only part of of the results. Injuries are not declining in fact we are seeing more injuries. This is because,
One cars are safer and some wrecks that would have been fatalities are reduced to injury.
Two cars are lighter and made from materials of questionable strength.
Three some safety equipment on these newer cars actually cause injury.
