Elephant Tests The Strength Of Vehicles
Nowadays automobiles are put through extensive and expensive crash tests. It is only after that that vehicles get safety ratings. If a vehicle fails these tests they are usually sent back and cannot be sold in certain markets.
We have found a rather simple way of testing vehicles for structural strength. It's called the Elephant test and is relatively simple. All you need is an elephant and a willing donor car to test it. The elephant then has to play with the vehicle and after an hour or so you will know if the vehicle has good or poor build quality.
In all seriousness though this is an incident that took place in Thailand where an Elephant went on a rampage. He destroyed several cars that were driving through the Khao Yai National Park close to Bangkok. The incident occurred on 11th of January, 2015 and it is our video of the day.
