In my 20s, usta pedal my bicycle down a long hill with two lanes of light traffic on my side. 30 mph. No helmet, probably wearing shorts and tshirt, sewer grates on the edge. Traffic signal at the bottom. Idiot. Then I started skydiving. Good times, meaning I survived. 🙄😁
I fell off motorcycles at 100kmh or more several times. These are not impacts at 100kmh unless you slide into a stationary object.

Cars have crumple zones. You can't say that the force felt by a driver in a 40km/h head on CAR crash is the same as coming to a full stop instantly. The car structure would take some of the forces and expand them all over the main structural parts. The shock would not be as strong as in the first situation...

No, the top of the headrest has to be level with the top of your head. Also, the space between the headrest and the back of your head should be no larger than 4 cm (slightly over 1 inch) while driving.
It doesn’t have to be level with the top of your head - it only has to be high enough to not allow it to cause your skull to be detached from your spine on impact. And it also only needs to be that in a rear-end collision, which is not what was happening here.
A friend of mine was driving down an old logging road going back to his camping site. He dropped a smoke on the floor, stopped the vehicle, but let his foot off the brake while he bent over to look for the smoke. He couldn't find it so he was down there for maybe 10 seconds and in his mind he had not even moved, but in reality the car was slowly accelerating to somewhere between 10-20 kph and veered off the road into a tree. He is now in a wheelchair for life he broke his neck and will never walk again... The car wasn't even damaged like seriously not a scratch. You just never know what might kill you.
Handicapped for life over a single cigarette. Wow, id never be able to live with myself. Everyday not being able to walk and just imaging all the things id be able to do if it were not for a single cigarette. Just imagining it is making me depressed.
That's a matter of detail, but when a crash between a car and a wall occurs at the same speed as in your experiment, the car's structure will deform and will absorb some of the energy of the crash, therefore the inertia of the body will be somehow lower (in your experiment there is no deformation, therefore the entire energy of the crash is transmitted to the gentleman sitting on that car chair). The same applies when there are two cars each travelling at 10 km/h, both of the cars will absorb some of the energy. Of course, this is no excuse for not wearing the seat belt - this is mandatory at any speed one would be travelling!
Without a seat belt, the car absorbing the force of the crash does exactly jack for you - you continue forward at the speed the car was going. That's why you wear a seat belt, so you decelerate with the car.
That won't help an unbelted person. That would only be the case of the car and person were attached as a rigid body. In the case of no seatbelt, they are separate, unattached. The car may slow down and stop but the person will keep going at the speed the car was going until it hits something to stop it. In a lot of cases, the hard dash or the pavement outside of the car.
My cousin was in a very low speed crash. She didn't wear a seat belt. She was paralyzed for many years. RIP. If she wore a seat belt she would have walked away.
The worst bicycle accident I ever had was at 1-3 kph. I bunny hopped my front wheel up onto the kerb and the wheel came out of the quick release. Just went face first into the pavement while tangled up with the bicycle. I lay there for quite a while in shock before a motorist stopped. Sometimes, the lack of momentum to distribute force over time and distance i.e. sliding makes for a very harsh impact.
I had a similar crash. Hit a hole on the street and the bicycle stopped and that made me spin into the ground. After the hit the bench kept going and hit me in the back of the head causing some bleeding. I was in such shock that I wasn't quite there processing what was going on. It was weird because I was calm though.
What even scarier is that, based on physics, the forces climb exponentially. So a 20mph crash is 4 times this 10mph force, 30mph is 9 times the force and a 50mph crash is 25 times the force.
@@NithavelaNo, an exponential function is of the form b^x, where b is the base and x, the variable, is the exponent. A quadratic is of the form x^e where x, the variable, is the base, and e is the exponent, in this case 2. If you graph both functions, you'll see that they have very different behavior.
In my car with 205 / 50 tires with soft grip rubber and racing break pads I managed to break so hard that I had pain where the seatbelt was for a week... Those racing break pads was really somthing, they had to be heated up to give full effect which worked perfectly as it worked like ABS when you slammed in the breaks in panic and then you had to let of the breaks as they warmed up and you got the perfect stop. I measured the stopping distance (reaction and breaking) to 1/3 of what they consider normal stopping distance for a car.
There does not appear to anything that puts this video in context. The setup resembles a car interior but there is no steering wheel or dash board. It looks like some of the force of impact is diminished by the test subjects transition to near-standing. Whatever the braking mechanism that brings the seat and the subject to a halt will have an influence on any potential for injury depending on the level of deceleration. The screen at the end of travel would have less potential for injury if it could absorb energy like an air bag or a pillow. A hard surface like metal or concrete or even glass would have different implications.
10 km/h = 6.2 mph, this is NOTHING in terms of speed, yet watch how much he gets FORCED out of his seat by MOMENTUM. Newton's 1st Law (it's a law, not a suggestion): An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force This means the "car" stopped but you keep moving forward until you hit something. Now if you are wearing your seatbelt, guess what, you hit the seatbelt, thus stopping your forward momentum. If you are not, you get thrown into the dashboard and windshield. Now imagine that guy getting thrown into a windshield at that speed, it would likely give him a pretty damn good headache. That was just 6 miles per hour, we travel more than TWICE that speed in RESIDENTAL AREAS (typically 15 miles per hour), so DOUBLE that force, now you have a guaranteed grade 1 concussion at just 15 mph without a seatbelt. Now lets move on to city roads at 30 miles per hour, we can effectively double the previous result, congratulations you now have a grade 3 concussion with a possible skull fracture and you may have broken your windshield with your head. Now lets move on to our last example, city highway speeds which tend to be 45 - 50 miles per hour. You are guaranteed a grade 3 concussion, TBI, brain bleeding, and you WILL shatter your windshield with your head, skull fracturing is almost a guarantee here. Your instant L/D (Live/Die) chances are 40/60, that's INSTANT DEATH chances. Wear your damn seatbelts.
I was surprised how, with his feet firmly on the floor, the upper body move UP! So specifically up, not forward. I can definitely see how banging the top of my head into cab roof would hurt, would distract and disorient, and very much impair my driving skills. Right at the moment I need them most to maneuver out of an oncoming crash. A good reminder to wear a seatbelt. And drive smart.
As his feet didn't move (gripped on the floor even a small amount) his body in motion rotated around that static point. Hence, he came *up* out of the chair. In an average car, your knees tend to be straighter with your feet more in front of you. Unbelted in a crash you slide off your seat making contact with whatever is in front of you. Modern cars have 'knee bolsters' softer dashboards and air bags to put something soft between your head and hard bits- like glass. Yes, wear a seatbelt. Don't trust that your smart driving will compensate for the other idiots out there.
We had a thing like this at a police day once. It was a metal frame that simulates what it's like to be in a 5 mph (~8 km/h) car accident. It was very jarring to be in. I can only imagine how it must be like at 7-15 times that, similar to city and interstate driving. Even residential driving accidents (25 mph/40 kmph) can be really serious. Be safe on the road!
They could have made it a prank . Tell the Guinea pig it will be a 10 kph impact when in fact you launch the seat at about 50 kph. If the guy is upset just yell : it’s a prank bro! Come on it s a prank brooooo
Yeah I know on youtube robbing a bank at gunpoint and attempted murder is considered "pranks"... And the most sick is that youtube allow these "prank channels" doing things that normally give you 10 years to life in prison to go on posting, just because they call it a "prank".
People grossly underestimate the forces upon your body during a crash. This 10mph 'crash' shows how it affects you. Now this is a grown up with (heavy) protective gear. Now imagine a child in the car, unrestrained. Some time ago there was this program on BBC where a woman told her story about driving her kid to school in busy traffic. She was going about 15mph, and her son was not restrained and standing between the front seats when she suddenly had to brake hard. Her son was thrown to the front and landed with his belly on the gear lever and died of his injuries...15mph...
I was involved in a 10km/h collision (my aunt didn't set the wheel straight after taking a curve after a stop), so she hit a small truck at a very low speed. now, living in eastern europe and given the fact that it happened about 15 (or more) years ago, i didn't wear a seatbelt. I slammed my head so hard against the glass that my head hurt for the next two days. Now I'm looking for a seatbelt even on a bicycle.
At work nobody was wearing seatbelts. No public streets, maybe max 10-30 km/h. Everyone was safe if he drove consciously and could immediately support himself if needed. But on public streets it's different, wear seatbelts or die.
Ok its soft when u drive 10kmh...try to press full brake when u drive 50kmh without seatbelt...it hurts.. and it is not even 50% impact energy when u crash because you loose enegry on 15 meters distance.
@@theeraphatsunthornwit6266 i think the main point of a seatbelt is to make sure you dont go flying out the window in a crash, or get shaken around in something like a rollover... its not really meant to decrease deceleration in a crash
@@cozzy124 While it doesn't decrease the overall deceleration, the give seatbelts have do spread the deceleration over slightly longer timeframes, reducing peak g-forces and thus, hopefully, the severity of injuries.
You're exactly right, but the problem is that you will hit the inside of the car at 10 km/h after it has stopped. The slower deceleration of a well-engineered car doesn't help you much when your rib cage is smashed against the steering column (etc.)
That's not how this works. Crumple zones spread the deceleration of the car out over a longer period of time, but someone who isn't strapped to the car will get flung forward with the same speed difference regardless.
Back in the late 70s, the police department had one of these setup outside a mall, and it allowed us to experience low speed crashes, but we had to wear seatbelts. From then on, I never forgot to strap in. LOL
@@markchristian787 it literally can't be reliably proven, hence why it's a theory. ever heard of correlation=/=causation? Regardless, you're either a troll or a very ignorant person, and I have no intention of conversing with either any further. Have a good day :)
Years ago I was driving in snow and my front lost all grip in a corner and I slid right into a kerb at around 20. It was way more violent than I anticipated. However what's most surprising is how strong the suspension components are because a year later I hit the same wheel in the same way and I'm still running with those like 7-8 years later 😂😂
Test subject, "Why are you making a sign of The Cross?" Operator, "This isn't for you. It's for me. I am bad with numbers. I'm hoping the numbers I put into computer are correct."
a family member was on a bus which crashed on a motorway, even though buses go fairly slowly he said the impact threw him straight over the seats in front of him and that he was pinned there and unable to move because of the momentum
Imagine running your max speed straight into a wall, that won't kill you but can definitely hurt and injure you quite a lot depending on which part made contact first, might take a few days or even weeks to heal. That is about 12 kmph. If you don't ever wanna experience something similar or MUCH WORSE, wear a seat belt.
What did it for me: As a kid I would watch the tv’s that the Mercedes garage my dad worked at, on it they had all the crash tests with shots from outside and inside the car, but more importantly cases where passengers/driver were not wearing seatbelts. If you’ve seen a very reel crash test dummy punch its face in a dashboard - or worse - it’s skull through a windshield then those 3 seconds to buckle up are a real no brainer
We had a similar crash simulation in drivers education if I remember correctly from 30, but it was with seatbelts on. It felt nastier than you'd expect at such a speed.

He couldn't find it so he was down there for maybe 10 seconds and in his mind he had not even moved, but in reality the car was slowly accelerating to somewhere between 10-20 kph and veered off the road into a tree. He is now in a wheelchair for life he broke his neck and will never walk again... The car wasn't even damaged like seriously not a scratch. You just never know what might kill you.
Handicapped for life over a single cigarette. Wow, id never be able to live with myself. Everyday not being able to walk and just imaging all the things id be able to do if it were not for a single cigarette.
Just imagining it is making me depressed.
Smoking is bad for your health
I don't know why I expected the chair to jettison him towards the wall.
Same, I was like "why there's no padding on the floor too?"
That's a matter of detail, but when a crash between a car and a wall occurs at the same speed as in your experiment, the car's structure will deform and will absorb some of the energy of the crash, therefore the inertia of the body will be somehow lower (in your experiment there is no deformation, therefore the entire energy of the crash is transmitted to the gentleman sitting on that car chair). The same applies when there are two cars each travelling at 10 km/h, both of the cars will absorb some of the energy.
Of course, this is no excuse for not wearing the seat belt - this is mandatory at any speed one would be travelling!
Except for when i have a bike and i'm zipping down the hill at 30 km/h
@@56independent42 I've gone 50 on a flat road on a bicycle, would not want to crash at that spped lol
@@A_youtube_channel_ I would not want a crash to occur in any vehicle.
Without a seat belt, the car absorbing the force of the crash does exactly jack for you - you continue forward at the speed the car was going. That's why you wear a seat belt, so you decelerate with the car.
That won't help an unbelted person. That would only be the case of the car and person were attached as a rigid body. In the case of no seatbelt, they are separate, unattached. The car may slow down and stop but the person will keep going at the speed the car was going until it hits something to stop it. In a lot of cases, the hard dash or the pavement outside of the car.
At 10 km/h you can see the sticker on the wall.
At 100k m/h you are the sticker on the wall.
I love that the simulator has tail lights.
Didn't even notice that!
You never know, someone might be tailgating, they are everywhere

My cousin was in a very low speed crash. She didn't wear a seat belt. She was paralyzed for many years. RIP.
If she wore a seat belt she would have walked away.
That's why I use a seatbelt all the time, even when I driver my car inside the garage 5 meters away from the garage. You never know.

The reaction of the body expecting a collision vs the reaction of the body not expecting a collision would be different.

Imagine if he accidently typed in an extra zero and made him crash at 100 kph
The worst bicycle accident I ever had was at 1-3 kph. I bunny hopped my front wheel up onto the kerb and the wheel came out of the quick release. Just went face first into the pavement while tangled up with the bicycle. I lay there for quite a while in shock before a motorist stopped. Sometimes, the lack of momentum to distribute force over time and distance i.e. sliding makes for a very harsh impact.
I had a similar crash.
Hit a hole on the street and the bicycle stopped and that made me spin into the ground.
After the hit the bench kept going and hit me in the back of the head causing some bleeding.
I was in such shock that I wasn't quite there processing what was going on.
It was weird because I was calm though.
ok now imagine no anticipation
Seatbelt: destination reached
No seatbelt: destination f*cked
What even scarier is that, based on physics, the forces climb exponentially. So a 20mph crash is 4 times this 10mph force, 30mph is 9 times the force and a 50mph crash is 25 times the force.
Its 10 kph, not 10mph.
You're right on the numbers, but the word is quadratic, not exponential.
@@DerekGreen15 quadratic is a form of exponential function, more specifically one where the exponent is 2.
@@NithavelaNo, an exponential function is of the form b^x, where b is the base and x, the variable, is the exponent. A quadratic is of the form x^e where x, the variable, is the base, and e is the exponent, in this case 2. If you graph both functions, you'll see that they have very different behavior.
@@Nithavela The measure of speed is irrelevant to the point at hand (kph vs mph) the effects will be the same.
They didn’t even use a dummy, they were just like, “aight Phillip, sit right there”
Seeing a dummy and feeling it yourself are different.
@CRITICALHITRU To us watching he wed the equivalent of a human dummy.
It's kind of scary how we are so used to seeing cars going up to 80-90mph that we forget that even at 10k a car has serious impact.
that's a load of bells and whistles for a 10 km/h impact
the real scary thing is the scaling of the energy with your speed squared
Did the guy survive?
While he was having breakfast the next day he exploded
Good to see Don Rickles take it easy on you.
he is sending it 😂
full speed plz
Family friend died from a 20-25 mph crash without a seatbelt, it may seem slow as heck but cars and their deadliness are no joke.
Worst of all is that you don't feel you're fast.
Except that in a car crash you dont come to a complete stop instantly 😂
In my car with 205 / 50 tires with soft grip rubber and racing break pads I managed to break so hard that I had pain where the seatbelt was for a week... Those racing break pads was really somthing, they had to be heated up to give full effect which worked perfectly as it worked like ABS when you slammed in the breaks in panic and then you had to let of the breaks as they warmed up and you got the perfect stop. I measured the stopping distance (reaction and breaking) to 1/3 of what they consider normal stopping distance for a car.
There does not appear to anything that puts this video in context. The setup resembles a car interior but there is no steering wheel or dash board. It looks like some of the force of impact is diminished by the test subjects transition to near-standing. Whatever the braking mechanism that brings the seat and the subject to a halt will have an influence on any potential for injury depending on the level of deceleration. The screen at the end of travel would have less potential for injury if it could absorb energy like an air bag or a pillow. A hard surface like metal or concrete or even glass would have different implications.
Also accidents do not happen in a vaccine.
As soon as you stop, the car behind you can hit you. a car can hit you on the side, etc.
@@JonatasAdoM Well I sure hope accidents don't happen in a vaccine. That would be dangerous
I'm wondering how does your average bus driver throw you out of the seat without crashing?
Sudden stop of momentum perhaps? Maybe they're faster than it seems or it's the size.
Buses are much larger vehicles, so the impact is distributed more.
“Is this a gesture?”
“That was for real brother”
I was 100% ready for him to just launch forward into that barrier 😂
10 km/h = 6.2 mph, this is NOTHING in terms of speed, yet watch how much he gets FORCED out of his seat by MOMENTUM.
Newton's 1st Law (it's a law, not a suggestion): An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force
This means the "car" stopped but you keep moving forward until you hit something. Now if you are wearing your seatbelt, guess what, you hit the seatbelt, thus stopping your forward momentum. If you are not, you get thrown into the dashboard and windshield.
Now imagine that guy getting thrown into a windshield at that speed, it would likely give him a pretty damn good headache. That was just 6 miles per hour, we travel more than TWICE that speed in RESIDENTAL AREAS (typically 15 miles per hour), so DOUBLE that force, now you have a guaranteed grade 1 concussion at just 15 mph without a seatbelt.
Now lets move on to city roads at 30 miles per hour, we can effectively double the previous result, congratulations you now have a grade 3 concussion with a possible skull fracture and you may have broken your windshield with your head.
Now lets move on to our last example, city highway speeds which tend to be 45 - 50 miles per hour. You are guaranteed a grade 3 concussion, TBI, brain bleeding, and you WILL shatter your windshield with your head, skull fracturing is almost a guarantee here. Your instant L/D (Live/Die) chances are 40/60, that's INSTANT DEATH chances.
Wear your damn seatbelts.
Also don’t put your feet up on the dashboard, it’ll mean you’ll be shoved into the footrest area in an impact from the front.
Pee are dumb ignorant fools.
Telling them might just make them do it.
Motorcycle riders only wear helmets to avoid tickets. Put that into perspective.
I don't think the title is accurate, I think it's more like 5~6 km/h. At 10 km/h he would've hit the wall.
Why is this surprising? Humans can run at about 32km/h, so simply imagine yourself running into a wall at full speed for a feel of what impact is like
@@theshermantanker7043 Anyone who ever played rugby with Jonah Lomu does not need to imagine
I was surprised how, with his feet firmly on the floor, the upper body move UP! So specifically up, not forward.
I can definitely see how banging the top of my head into cab roof would hurt, would distract and disorient, and very much impair my driving skills. Right at the moment I need them most to maneuver out of an oncoming crash.
A good reminder to wear a seatbelt. And drive smart.
As his feet didn't move (gripped on the floor even a small amount) his body in motion rotated around that static point. Hence, he came *up* out of the chair. In an average car, your knees tend to be straighter with your feet more in front of you. Unbelted in a crash you slide off your seat making contact with whatever is in front of you. Modern cars have 'knee bolsters' softer dashboards and air bags to put something soft between your head and hard bits- like glass. Yes, wear a seatbelt. Don't trust that your smart driving will compensate for the other idiots out there.
We had a thing like this at a police day once. It was a metal frame that simulates what it's like to be in a 5 mph (~8 km/h) car accident. It was very jarring to be in. I can only imagine how it must be like at 7-15 times that, similar to city and interstate driving. Even residential driving accidents (25 mph/40 kmph) can be really serious. Be safe on the road!
Feel the power of impact of Angry Grandpa on wheelchair
Let’s put convicts back in the drivers seat just like the 50’s
For Americans, this is 6MPH aka 3 garbage cans per mississippi
2.3 Barrett M82s per second.

This is definitely a accidental-kill-setup for a Hitman mission.
They could have made it a prank . Tell the Guinea pig it will be a 10 kph impact when in fact you launch the seat at about 50 kph.

People grossly underestimate the forces upon your body during a crash. This 10mph 'crash' shows how it affects you. Now this is a grown up with (heavy) protective gear. Now imagine a child in the car, unrestrained. Some time ago there was this program on BBC where a woman told her story about driving her kid to school in busy traffic. She was going about 15mph, and her son was not restrained and standing between the front seats when she suddenly had to brake hard. Her son was thrown to the front and landed with his belly on the gear lever and died of his injuries...15mph...
this is more like 6 mph.

Ok, now let's break the sound barrier without a seat belt
I was involved in a 10km/h collision (my aunt didn't set the wheel straight after taking a curve after a stop), so she hit a small truck at a very low speed. now, living in eastern europe and given the fact that it happened about 15 (or more) years ago, i didn't wear a seatbelt. I slammed my head so hard against the glass that my head hurt for the next two days. Now I'm looking for a seatbelt even on a bicycle.
At work nobody was wearing seatbelts. No public streets, maybe max 10-30 km/h. Everyone was safe if he drove consciously and could immediately support himself if needed. But on public streets it's different, wear seatbelts or die.
Come on. Real car has *soft* front seat
Ok its soft when u drive 10kmh...try to press full brake when u drive 50kmh without seatbelt...it hurts.. and it is not even 50% impact energy when u crash because you loose enegry on 15 meters distance.
@@Fatality_01 but seatbelt drag you hard too when crash
@@theeraphatsunthornwit6266 i think the main point of a seatbelt is to make sure you dont go flying out the window in a crash, or get shaken around in something like a rollover... its not really meant to decrease deceleration in a crash
@@cozzy124 While it doesn't decrease the overall deceleration, the give seatbelts have do spread the deceleration over slightly longer timeframes, reducing peak g-forces and thus, hopefully, the severity of injuries.
@@mikspurins1455 oh, i didnt know that
i mean in a car at 10 km/h the car would absorb all the impact tbh
True. But it will also absorb impulse of your body without seatbelt. You won`t like it even at 10 kmph.
You're exactly right, but the problem is that you will hit the inside of the car at 10 km/h after it has stopped. The slower deceleration of a well-engineered car doesn't help you much when your rib cage is smashed against the steering column (etc.)
That's not how this works. Crumple zones spread the deceleration of the car out over a longer period of time, but someone who isn't strapped to the car will get flung forward with the same speed difference regardless.

The data proves that people with seatbelts actually think they can drive faster and more dangerously and have a tendency to get into more accidents.

Years ago I was driving in snow and my front lost all grip in a corner and I slid right into a kerb at around 20. It was way more violent than I anticipated. However what's most surprising is how strong the suspension components are because a year later I hit the same wheel in the same way and I'm still running with those like 7-8 years later 😂😂

Test subject, "Why are you making a sign of The Cross?"
Operator, "This isn't for you. It's for me. I am bad with numbers. I'm hoping the numbers I put into computer are correct."
a family member was on a bus which crashed on a motorway, even though buses go fairly slowly he said the impact threw him straight over the seats in front of him and that he was pinned there and unable to move because of the momentum
Imagine running your max speed straight into a wall, that won't kill you but can definitely hurt and injure you quite a lot depending on which part made contact first, might take a few days or even weeks to heal.
That is about 12 kmph. If you don't ever wanna experience something similar or MUCH WORSE, wear a seat belt.
This video did what it said on the tin. Respect
What did it for me:
As a kid I would watch the tv’s that the Mercedes garage my dad worked at, on it they had all the crash tests with shots from outside and inside the car, but more importantly cases where passengers/driver were not wearing seatbelts.
If you’ve seen a very reel crash test dummy punch its face in a dashboard - or worse - it’s skull through a windshield then those 3 seconds to buckle up are a real no brainer
seatbelts save lives, kids
We had a similar crash simulation in drivers education if I remember correctly from 30, but it was with seatbelts on. It felt nastier than you'd expect at such a speed.
