Re: A video for all those who think that if a car is small it must be unsafe

Strength is only half of the safety of a car. The other half is the g-force. The lower your weight compared to the car you're crashing into, the more g-force you have to deal with. Which is why no matter how well designed a small car its, its never going to be as good as a (well designed) large car.

This video proves nothing btw. That Volvo was ancient. And the Renault really wasn't that much smaller.
