Inside IIHS: Preparing For A Crash Test Gives A Behind The Scenes Look
Yesterday we told you about Ford EcoSport getting four star safety rating from Euro NCAP, the European car safety agency. Crash test videos that we see last a couple of minutes and it only takes a few seconds for a vehicle to be crashed. But have you ever wondered how much work goes into preparing a car before it can be crash tested? The answer is, quite a lot.

Most of us presume (including us) crash testing a car is a simple matter of strapping a few dummies, pasting a few stickers, fitting cameras and data acquisition systems, before the car is pulled to crash.
This behind the scenes video released America's Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows just how wrong we were. Turns out, preparing a car for a crash test is far more time consuming, involving several stages of preparation that takes a whole day. And that's just for one crash. A complete test involves crashing several cars of the same model so the entire process is repeated each time. So, you can imagine how time consuming the whole process is.
"Inside IIHS: Preparing for a crash test" shows how engineers at the Institute's Vehicle Research Center attend to every detail to ensure a smooth crash test with results that can be easily measured and compared with other vehicles."
