  Wayne you are correct.  Stronger is not the perfect word to describe the new 
cars.  They are better at transferring impact energies around the passenger 
compartment.  Rather then allowing the impact forces to bang up the occupants, 
the frame rails crush and absorb some energy then the extremely strong 
passenger cage transfers the remaining energy around the passengers.  Pure 
strength does come into play on the sides, the rockers, pillars and doors, 
since the vehicle manufacturers have about 6-8 inches at most to stop a 
incoming impact.

  Interesting discussion. Many of you hit the nail on the head except IMHO the 
09 and most modern designed cars are not "Stronger" but  there engineered to be 
 energy absorbing in the uni-shell construction.   The  Shock absorbing crush 
paneled design in the 09 is obvious in the film. STRONGER Solid is not always 
better

  I have to agree with Tom.  The front structure in that 09 Malibu is 
incredibly strong, just like in just about every 09 sedan now made.  
http://www.goodwrench.com/gmgoodwrenchjsp/gmspo/Chevrolet/Malibu/2008/02_Structure_Identification.pdf
 shows what metals are in the front.  As for the airbag timing, the computer in 
a modern car can detect a collision event in 1-3 milliseconds.  The airbags are 
deployed in 3-5 milliseconds after that.  The above average human reaction time 
is 7 hundreds or a second.  (.0001 for the computer and .07 for the human { 
http://www.visualexpert.com/Resources/reactiontime.html }).  If you look close 
at that video or any other with a modern airbag deployment, you see that the 
occupants head is actually deflected away from the steering wheel, to the left 
side in this case.  Yes, he probably would have soft tissue damage (whiplash) 
but he will walk away.

  I work in a collision shop and every day I hear people say things like Kevin 
did here.  But they do not realize that they are still alive after that wreck 
because the new car they drive is so incredibly strong.  Most wrecks people 
have today would have killed someone if they happened in a "old" car.  Just my 
2 cents.

  I got some news for you therre skippy.  That 2009 car is built from much 
stronger metal than the 59 Impala is.  Not to mention the 2009 car is much more 
structurally sound than the 59 as well as the fact that the metal in the 59 has 
had 50 years to begin deteriorating.  News cars are designed so the passenger 
compartment doesn't crush and it did it's job.  That video is very real.  If 
you were driving the 59 Impala in that video..you'd be dead, period.

2009-09-22 Thread Jim H. Thompson
If the driver of the 59 had no seat belt maybe he would have died. If you
look through the passenger side window the dash board is intact and the 09
pivots on the corner of the driver side firewall. The whipping action of the
09 swinging around and striking the driver's door looks bad but remember how
big that front seat is and how much distance there is between the steering
column and the door. 

 

I drove a tow truck for a few years and walked through many a junk yard. I
say the rules have changed but it looks even to me.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT:YouTube crash

2009-09-22 Thread ted laidig
Reading through all the replies I am convinced that today's cars are light 
years better engineered from a safety standpoint than my "69'.  Thinking back 
on this, I would have friends alive today if airbags and mandatory seat belt 
laws would have been around in the late 60's and early 70's when I was young 
and dumb.  This said, I agree with Larry, why in the hell did they have to 
scrap a perfectly good "59'?  My two cents.

2009-09-22 Thread ROARKE PONCE

You know I take great pride in the fact that at 25 years old I was a ASE Master 
Tech in repair/refinish/estimating.  I also have a industry certification by 
I-CAR of Platinum Individual.  I am certified for a variety of Hybrid models as 
well. What those things mean is that I spend hours and hours each year 
attending classes, seminars and other industry gatherings to make sure I have a 
noggin full of knowledge.  

That allows me to look a a car and estimate what it will take to fix it, 
blueprint the repair process from start to finish, stand my ground about 
correct and complete repairs...I can repair dents, replace any panel on a car, 
replace urethane set glass, sand mud, spray primer, color and clear coats.  
Shall I go on?  I guess this was a really long winded way of saying I have done 
research, I am in the thick of collision repair every day.

Totals are up for reasons you apparently do not comprehend.  The cost of 
airbags, the recession, availability of good serviceable LKQ parts, the high 
cost of new OE parts (that is a whole 'nuther debate on its own)...all have a 
bearing on if a car is totaled.  If a car is in demand for LKQ parts, then many 
insurance companies will total that type of car sooner then others just because 
salvage values are high on that model.

I think we can look at that video in this light: If a old car had to die, what 
better way then in a way that a person does not die with it?  It was a grand 
example of how far vehicle technology has come since the 50s and I for one am 
happy for that advancement.   Are cars now perfect?  No.  But the cars are 
safer now and that is all we can ask for is it not?

I got some news for you therre skippy.  That 2009 car is built from much 
stronger metal than the 59 Impala is.  Not to mention the 2009 car is much more 
structurally sound than the 59 as well as the fact that the metal in the 59 has 
had 50 years to begin deteriorating.  News cars are designed so the passenger 
compartment doesn't crush and it did it's job.  That video is very real.  If 
you were driving the 59 Impala in that video..you'd be dead, period.

I got some news for you therre skippy.  That 2009 car is built from much
stronger metal than the 59 Impala is.  Not to mention the 2009 car is much
more structurally sound than the 59 as well as the fact that the metal in
the 59 has had 50 years to begin deteriorating.  News cars are designed so
the passenger compartment doesn't crush and it did it's job.  That video is
very real.  If you were driving the 59 Impala in that video..you'd be dead,
period.

2009-09-22 Thread ROARKE PONCE

Wayne you are correct.  Stronger is not the perfect word to describe the new 
cars.  They are better at transferring impact energies around the passenger 
compartment.  Rather then allowing the impact forces to bang up the occupants, 
the frame rails crush and absorb some energy then the extremely strong 
passenger cage transfers the remaining energy around the passengers.  Pure 
strength does come into play on the sides, the rockers, pillars and doors, 
since the vehicle manufacturers have about 6-8 inches at most to stop a 
incoming impact.

Interesting discussion. Many of you hit the nail on the head except IMHO the 09

energy absorbing in the uni-shell construction.   The  Shock absorbing crush

I have to agree with Tom.  The front structure in that 09 Malibu is incredibly 
strong, just like in just about every 09 sedan now made.  
http://www.goodwrench.com/gmgoodwrenchjsp/gmspo/Chevrolet/Malibu/2008/02_Structure_Identification.pdf
 shows what metals are in the front.  As for the airbag timing, the computer in 
a modern car can detect a collision event in 1-3 milliseconds.  The airbags are 
deployed in 3-5 milliseconds after that.  The above average human reaction time 
is 7 hundreds or a second.  (.0001 for the computer and .07 for the human { 
http://www.visualexpert.com/Resources/reactiontime.html }).  If you look close 
at that video or any other with a modern airbag deployment, you see that the 
occupants head is actually deflected away from the steering wheel, to the left 
side in this case.  Yes, he probably would have soft tissue damage (whiplash) 
but he will walk away.

I work in a collision shop and every day I hear people say things like Kevin 
did here.  But they do not realize that they are still alive after that wreck 
because the new car they drive is so incredibly strong.  Most wrecks people 
have today would have killed someone if they happened in a "old" car.  Just my 
2 cents.

Agree Rich,
Just eight bolts and the nose section is gone! Used to work at GMSA and later 
saw crash tests done at the Buro of Standards. You don't see doors come flying 
of on todays cars a they dont have aluminium door hinges!  Body integrity is 
much higher than 60's models. I love my 65 Malibu dearly,  but also know its 
limitations!

I believe Larry's point was that a 1959 Chevrolet was sacrificed to make the 
video, just like Hollywood does from time to time.  Granted it probably was not 
fine restored vehicle, but never the less something someone could have used and 
saved. 



We argue all day about frames and steel gauge's, but the fact is an '09 is 
certainly going to fair better in a crash like this.  It has 50 more years of 
design and technology.  It would be like in 1959 taking a '59 and running it 
into a 1909 - what do you think might happen. 



It wasn't until until 1966 were seat belts made mandatory in US vehicles and 
didn't appear as a law to wear them until the mid '80s for most states.  Maine 
and South Dakota made in law in 1995. 



Regardless - still a same to see a car like that get wasted.

  I got some news for you therre skippy.  That 2009 car is built from 
much stronger metal than the 59 Impala is.  Not to mention the 2009 car is much 
more structurally sound than the 59 as well as the fact that the metal in the 
59 has had 50 years to begin deteriorating.  News cars are designed so the 
passenger compartment doesn't crush and it did it's job.  That video is very 
real.  If you were driving the 59 Impala in that video..you'd be dead, period.

Waste Of A Beautiful Car But Re-Look The Video Over Can't Be Real.. Slight Knee
