An incredible movie
The quality of the original I copied this from was unfortunately apalling and as far as I know there is no other copy available - but the content is quite fascinating. A C60L cab 13 was used in these tests of some sort of water bladder. The truck was put on rails and winched up a hill, being let go at different speeds to see how the bladder performed. In this, the final test it was run into the barrier at 30MPH with a spectacular crash. In the slowmo version later in the clip you can see what a lethal weapon the steering wheel becomes as it is literally propelled into the cabin. So you can see even a seatbelt wouldn't save you in a head-on which brings to mind the unfortunate FGT crash in the UK.
Take a look. The file is about 3.1Mb and is in Quicktime format, the player can be downloaded from the Apple site.

Having problems opening
Hi Keith
Having problems open the quick time image for some reason, quick time normally opens fine on my computer. Could you give a link to file to down load and save? Sounds interesting.

Very nice video. Thankyou for posting it.
I also see what you mean about the steering wheel going up into the cab. That thing woud take you head off.

My F15 (under it's own power) would have calved that wall up & bladder would have arrived safe at it's intended destination.
