185' of drop yields a speed of 75mph. 30' of drop yields a speed of around 30mph. The lateral velocity of a flatbed truck does not translate to these tests because the kinetic energy is spread out over multiple impacts, meaning it is easier to endure. These drums are not put on flatbed trucks without further protection. I.E. their kinetic energy being released is spread out over an even greater amount of time.
@@aidenthehuman5921though multiple small hits can find a weakness that a single extreme hit misses Eg difference between cutting open a safe and putting in the code They probably already do many other tests, But they need things like slight damage testing, specifically looking for non visible damage, things that could happen in operation and not be seen by staff, combine slight damage testing with corrosion testing chemical (weather, road salt, cleaners, etc) and radiation Throw it in a dry tumbler for a month Do short distance compression testing (barely squeeze (half inch, down to millimeters) in a hydraulic press, cycle it a few dozen times, different points, different directions etc) check for visible signs of something like that occurring, whether or not it caused damage staff should be made aware of they crunch something, and also test integrity including corrosion integrity, (ie forklift, crane, etc might tap a barrel or pallet and no visible signs, could be hit dozens of times in transport, and started hairline fracture points with no one aware that they have been hit at all ever, etc) Heat cycles, hot cold hundred cycles or so

These safety testers really know how to wear their safety gear @2:09 & @2:26
It would have been funny if the barrel had exploded after that tiny four foot drop. "Hmm, needs more work."
What about the metal spike test
Notice they didn't flip it off a speeding flatbed truck .

40 foot drop test?
Can I work there? I'm great at dropping stuff. I do it all the time ;)
I drop a number 2 everyday round 6am into water. It's funn
Clarity of the city
I have more fun than this I work in one of the biggest scrap yards on the west coast nothin escapes the shear
Lets make the drop test with some Smartphones.
Why didn't they drop the barrel from 185' ? Science sucks :)
