mb safety - pics

i posted this on the 55 board and off topic and ill post here too cause i think its important to see how our cars can really save our lives in an accident.

the car is a smashed up clk55 from benzworld. the kid said his sister hit a median on I-95 then did a 180 and then an Oil rig started to run over the car, but then realized he was crushing her car and stopped. he also said she walked away with just some scratches and bruises.

I dont' know how a big rig can run over the car. Wouldn't the car just get bumped upon impact? Dont' believe every 2nd or 3rd hand information you hear.

MB makes pretty solid cars. If you take out some of the trim, you'll notice the metal rails around the car designed to protect the occupant.
