Default CMP test crash

Ever wondered what would happen if you were happily driving along and hit a barrier in your CMP at 30MPH?

You seat belt would do nothing to save you from being impaled on the steering wheel as it pushes almost to the back wall of the cab. I'd be leaning as far to the left as possible and take my chances on the engine cover.

The test footage shows a trial with a fuel bladder (full of water) on the back of the vehicle which conveniently adds to the overall effect by stoving in the back of the cab.
