Watch this.


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.

Hi Guys


I was watching some antique vehicle crash test and remembered this video posted by Keith Webb back in 2011. The link is no longer good. Was hoping somebody saved the video and could repost it.


Cheers Phil
