Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Ok, thankfully nobody was hurt in this accident, but the people in the car recording this video are lucky to have not been hurt or killed. Apparently the red car is a kid (not old enough to have a license) who has skipped out of school and has borrowed one of his parent's cars. Being a novice driver he ran the car over a large curb and obviously damaged the suspension badly. It appears the rear axle is no longer being held in alignment and is floating in a manner it should not. Never get close to an accident scene until your positive the accident is over.... these guys figured out getting too close while it is happening can cause you to become part of the accident. These guys missed death by inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) yeah... people do not realize, even though that wreck happens at low speed, a 2800 pound car going 20mph with an impact duration of about 0.5 seconds is going to hit those mounting bolts with approx. 45,550 newtons (that is 10,228 foot pounds) of force in a shear direction due to the car coming in just above the base mount. (base is in a low area) Edited September 22, 2017 by Zathrus~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
