human beings can stand far higher stresses and acceleration than called for by DOT quite sure that if those dummies had been human some of them would have vived the Starkman said A barrier crash at 50 is roughly equivalent to a 100 crash of two cars Starkman conceded that if a safety car and conventional car were to collide the occupants of the latter would be in more ger than in a crash of two con- autos He said because of the safety systems built into the safety car most of the damage and possible occupant injuries would be transferred to the er car The GM ESV looks much like a
