pretty cool video. Just goes to show how much we have evolved in technology over the years.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

They've been very safe even before then. MB's ALWAYS been all about safety. They invented a ton of things such as crash boxes and crumple zones that we take for granted today.
That 1m upside-down drop seems kind of lame. Wouldn't any car pretty much survive that? I'd be more interested in see how it fares landing upside down from 4-6m (for example flipping off an overpass).

if its going off an overpass its more likely to be landing into a ditch or water, even then those things are rare
the 1m drop i think was just to test the car flipping over

Ya I don't really get the short distance upside down drop. When would that ever happen?
I wonder if you have a button like that in the car that releases the doors, or if it's automatic. That was one of the huge issues with the DMC Delorean, you became trapped in the car if you were in an accident because of the gullwings.
