    Found the injury measures on the NHTSA database.
    (Driver-Passenger)
    F-250:
    HIC: 307-433
    Chest G: 35-38
    Femur Loads: 3594/990 - 127/72 (N).
    Focus:
    HIC: 1500-1068
    Chest G: 86-58
    Femur Loads: 6539/7175 - 4671/5729 (N)
    The dummies were a 50th percentile male (approx 5'9, 170 lbs) in the driver's seats and a 5th percentile female (approx 5'0, 105 lbs) in the passenger's seats. Per NHTSA's old star rating formula, the Focus's driver would have an 82% risk of severe injury, the F-250's only 5%. In practice this means that a real-life driver of the Focus would probably be severely injured, but would most likely survive. A real-life driver of the F-250 would probably walk away with minor injury at worst. I'm not 100% sure on what forces 5th percentile dummies can withstand compared to 50th percentile, but suffice it to say the passenger of the F-250 would probably have minor injuries and the passenger of the Focus would probably be seriously injured, if not severely injured.

      @@bldontmatter5319 Its not just like that. They do mean, and they help alot. But there is alot of things that go into equation. Heavier vehicle will normally present much bigger damage to the lighter vehicle, and if lighter vehicle did not have crumple zones at all, forces would be even higher. What also helps is to have more solid steel after crumple zones. This car crumpled more than it should. It felt like it was made completely of crumplonium.

      The reason they used different speeds for the two vehicles is to give them the same momentum, otherwise the wreckage would keep moving after the collision. Momentum is Mass X Velocity, so the F-250 has a mass 72/38 times the mass of the Focus (1.9 times heavier).

    I mean, I know this is a video trying to show you the damage caused by a collision, but for those thinking the car is particularly unsafe... It’s more that the truck weighs 3x as much as the car. The car will take far more damage simply because it is going to be hit with more of an impact than the truck will because the truck only feels the impact from the car while the car feels the impact from the truck... Which is far more.

    • @patrickshelley09
      @patrickshelley09 3 года назад +5

      Yep. Most of them hardly ever haul anything that requires a truck, they don't go off road and they drive like they're in a sports car. Then when they rear end someone because they were following too close or they flip over because they were driving to fast, they can't understand what went wrong. My favorite is when they fly by you on an icy/snowy road, confident in their 4 wheel drive and then several miles down the road you see them off the side of the road after they lost control.

    • @kingduckford
      @kingduckford 2 года назад +1

      In my area, pick ups are a necessary part of life. Farming and rural life find very good use for a true pickup over an SUV or these modern short box pick ups that are just basically SUV's. Driven correctly, a 4x4 truck is vastly superior to a 2wd vehicle of the same weight rating on ice and snow, and we have a lot of ice and snow.
      I think the problem is urban/rural. People in one environment will drive them for a different reason than somewhere else.

      Both vehicles were survivable. Just a worse day for the focus passengers. The test also doesn't take into account things like how fast either vehicle can stop or maneuver. I drive for a living and I can tell you I've had several incidents that I could avoid in a small nimble vehicle that would have been accidents in a large truck or SUV. Should we do a roll over test and then put "at least they got to sit up high and haul stuff with that truck" on the tombstone of the truck driver?

    • @buildthings79
      @buildthings79 3 года назад

      @@patrickshelley09 Yes but sudden overcorrections of steering to cause rollovers are a function of your driving ability. If your on a two lane road and the guy in the oncoming lane hits you head on there is not alot you can do about it. If you buy a vehicle that your setting yourself up to always be the smallest guy in a crash then that was your choice. I highly doubt that the Focus driver walked away or could even walk after that crash.
      Sitting up high also is more of an advantage while driving. You can see further down the road over other cars, past hills ,signs and embankments all giving you alot more reaction time to slow down and completely avoid what's coming. I was at Ford dealership a few years ago and saw a f350 in the repair lot for the body shop. It had hit a 3ft diameter oak tree at 60 mph. The front end was notched into the engine compartment atleast 3/4 of the way. They told me the driver walked away from it. You could still open the doors . I would much rather have 8ft of steel between myself and an object then 2 of plastic and steel. I own a metal fabricationand welding shop with a 12,000 lb lift to repair trucks and cars in it. I see what minimum amounts of steel they use to " improve your fuel efficiency " .

    • @patrickshelley09
      @patrickshelley09 3 года назад +1

      @@buildthings79 There are times you need to make sudden and sharp steering adjustments. If your choice is hit an object or swerve, you swerve. Sitting up high does give you a visual advantage. But just like over correction is avoidable in most cases, sitting lower down means it's up to the driver to drive correctly when vision is impaired. I've driven small trucks, lifted trucks, large cars and small cars. I'd rather sit back a little and know I can stop or maneuver than be able to see slightly better. You can actually drive correctly and see what's in front of you in a small car. Just takes adjustment.
      Your example of the truck hitting the tree is more about the frame construction. A crown vic may have had similar results. I use the example of a crown vic because I lost control when I was younger and t boned a box truck on the freeway. Walked away. I likely wouldn't have lost control in a focus though (FWD vs RWD). But we're still talking about front end collisions. That doesn't factor in side impacts, roll overs or accidents avoided.
      My original point is that insulting people for driving a small fuel efficient vehicle is short sighted. When you buy a vehicle, you have to factor in a lot of thing. Fuel econ is very important for a lot of people. I save thousands a year on fuel because I drive a small car instead of an SUV or Truck (not to mention tire cost, insurance, registration, purchase price etc). I've also avoided accidents that I know I wouldn't have avoided in my crown vic, let alone a truck/SUV. I'm talking about accidents that happened in front of me, people suddenly swerving into my lane etc. To clarify, the accidents that happened in front of me were visible to me as they happened and sitting up higher would have given me no advanced warning. When it comes down to it, an accident avoided is much better than having a lot of steel between you and the other vehicle in any accident. And driving a heavy, high center of gravity vehicle makes it much more likely that you'll be in a roll over than I'm likely to be in a head on collision with a truck.

      The problem is that 90% of people who buy trucks don't do truck things with them. They throw away their money on a big truck they don't need and spend an insane amount of gas just to do the same grocery-getting that a smaller car could do. It's disappointing how manufacturers aren't making efforts to make trucks safer for others on the road.

      What type of accident? Trucks roll and carry more momentum into objects like trees. It's also easier to avoid a potential accident in a small car that can stop and maneuver better than a Truck. It's not as black and white as you make it out to be.

    • @mrsmith2876

      That is false. If equipped with 4x4 a large pickup has more traction for engine braking and steering in slippery conditions. A rear wheel drive with no weight in the bed is terrible though, thats why they make tire chains

    • @patrickshelley09
      @patrickshelley09 3 года назад +1

      @@mrsmith2876 4x4 doesn't give you more traction in a spin and it doesn't help you stop any faster in ice/snow. The weight of the 4x4 more than offsets any engine braking you'd get. Most of the vehicles I see spin out on the freeway in ice and snow are 4x4s. Now, lets move to summer months and perform a braking test or a rollover test. In real world scenarios, those heavy, high center of gravity trucks and SUVs flip, roll, carry more momentum for a longer distance and impact stationary objects like trees with much more force. It all depends on the situation you find yourself in. If you're in a head on with a small car in a truck, you're safer. If you're in a head on with a semi, you're pretty much screwed either way. Need to stop fast or maneuver? Hope you're not in a truck.

      @@patrickshelley09 4x4 and AWD help to spread torque over four wheels instead of two, helping to prevent wheel spin. It also spreads engine braking over four wheels instead of two. Four wheel drive can help steer a vehicle out of a two wheel problem, because of the dynamics of either FWD or RWD.
      4x4 and AWD aren't just "getting you moving". If you live where there is snow on the ground 5 months out of the year, you will realize this.
      Also, on snow and ice, even gravel, weight is your friend. Weight is traction. Light vehicles do very poorly on ice and snow because they lack the weight on tires to give them that grip. RWD cars and trucks have put sandbags over the wheel wells for what reason during ice and snow?
