This is for your crash tests in BeamNG. I'll start: Vehicle(s): 1973 Bruckell Moonhawk, 1962 Satsuma 1000 Configuration: Side impact, Moonhawk into left side of Satsuma Speed: 40 mph Occupants: One human occupant, 3 point seat belt used, driver seat, Moonhawk. Crash Test Date/Time: August 26, 1980, 10:23 am Forces/Injuries: No injuries Notes: This crash test was done for the October 23, 1980 episode of Stunt Crashes Weekly. This show ran from the 1970s to 1993. College students volunteered to participate in human crash tests for money. President of Nigeria at the time (optional): Shehu Shagari
A pair of crashes done for the Stunt Crash Weekly episodes "Fire Traps", aired April 23, 1981 (Miramar) and April 30, 1981 (Burnside). Two vehicles known for easily catching fire were crashed into at 40 mph by an Oldsmobile Land Yacht occupied by a human driver. Vehicles: 1963 Ibishu Miramar, 1978 Oldsmobile Land Yacht (Crash 1) 1954 Burnside Special, 1979 Oldsmobile Land Yacht (Crash 2) Configuration: Rear end, front of Miramar against barrier (Crash 1) Front impact, rear of Burnside against barrier (Crash 2) Speed: 40 mph (both tests) Occupants: One human occupant, driver seat, 3 point seat belt used, Olds (both tests) Crash Test Date/Time: March 20, 1981, 1:25 pm (Crash 1) March 20, 1981, 3:20 pm (Crash 2) Forces/Injuries: "Most sore I've ever been." said the driver. A few cuts and bruises. (after both tests) Effects: Miramar did not catch fire or leak fuel, suspected because Olds hit above gas tank. A test with a Bolide in place of the Olds will be conducted in May 1981. Burnside began to smolder after test, fire visible after about 3 minutes.
Crash testing has revealed that side underride protection could save lives Released: February 28, 1986 Two crash tests were conducted based on a 1984 crash were a van hit the side of a semi trailer, leaving the two children, ages 6 and 4, in the rear of the van orphaned. On November 26, 1985, a crash test was conducted between a 1985 Gavril H15 van and a 1980 Gavril trailer, with the van hitting the side of the trailer at 35 mph. In the front seats were two 50th percentile adult dummies; in the rear seat were a 6 year old size dummy and a 3 year old size dummy. All dummies were properly restrained with seat belts and/or child safety seats. Since the bottom of the trailer sits up very high, the front crumple zone of the van was not engaged and the windshield struck the trailer directly, resulting in extreme loads on both adult dummies' heads and necks that would have been certain to cause fatal injury to a real life occupant. Loads on the children showed that injury would be unlikely. (Driver / Passenger / 6 yo / 3 yo) HIC: (5,763 / 7,085 / 45 / 66) - IARV* 1,000 Nij: (4.26 / 3.77 / 0.23 / 0.19) - IARV: 1.00 Chest G: (15 / 14 / 10 / 6) - IARV: 60 On December 3, 1985, a second test was conducted: same dummy configuration, same 1985 Gavril van at 35 mph, but the target vehicle was a 1984 Gavril H45 You Haul moving truck. The moving truck's cargo box is located at a lower height, approximately the same height off the ground as a full-size pickup truck. The front crumple zone fully engaged the side of the truck. Forces on the driver and front passenger were vastly improved, with moderate to serious injury likely but the chance of fatality near zero. Due to the more rapid deceleration of the van, the loads on the children increased, with minor to moderate injury likely to both. HIC: (1,128 / 890 / 614 / 356) - IARV: 1,000 Nij: (0.35 / 0.39 / 0.73 / 0.59) - IARV: 1.00 Chest G: (59 / 46 / 52 / 40) - IARV: 60 *The IARV (Injury Assessment Reference Value) is the level above which serious injury is likely. Above approximately twice the IARV for head, neck, and chest, fatal injury is likely.
