You Will Not Believe How Much Goes Into Preparing a Car for Crash Testing
New-vehicle crash testing is crucial to measuring how safe vehicles are for their occupants in the event of an accident. The actual test is quick: vehicles are pulled down a runway inside the test facility before they're smashed into a seemingly invincible wall. Carnage ensues.

Head below to watch it, and be prepared to have you mind blown from the complexity of it all.
