BMW crash test in real life! Impressive!

A BMW was launched into the air off a concrete barrier on one side of a tunnel entrance, hitting the top of the tunnel before crashing down. Police said that the driver did not have serious injuries and passed a breathalyzer test...

That guy has someone watching over him. He's lucky to be alive.

On the other hand, what a testament to how BMW protects its occupants!

Wow, that's impressive.

I think all newer cars are much safer than older cars. I say that thinking of a Youtube video of an old Chevy that they purposely crashed into a new Chevy. Check out the video link.

But, based on personal experience, I'll take my chances in a BMW.

Stay safe out there. Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays.
