Was wondering what he would say about the head on forces.

Pointless test really, clearly it's going to take a bit of damage, impressive to watch though.

horrid to see, although that was a solid block, chances of hitting something that wont budge at 120 on the roads are unlikely

Not that unlikely, Big old trees dont move. Bridges beside motorways dont move.

This. There's a fair few things that you can hit and it'll stop you in your tracks. Very freaky video

He says near the beginning, 'its the same as 2 cars head on both doing 120mph'

Surely its both cars doing 60?

I thought that as well but Mythbusters proved otherwise.

There was a thread in here in which I was wrong
