The Pedestrian Crash Test, A Person Could Be

Car into pedestrians - this often takes a dramatic end. Read that had survived dummy Dieter and what difference a few km / h for the safety of a pedestrian.

We are in Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein, on the train crash at DEKRA experts. I, the AUTO BILD editor, and Dieter, the dummy. And I've still got the better job. I must just sit and watch. But Dieter, standing in the rain, waiting for the big bang. It's about pedestrian safety, the danger in an accident with a car. And the question is: Which ending injuries such a crash? Dieter is hit three times that. Only at 30 km / h, then 50 and finally even pace with 65th Three identical VW Golf III to start and begin to take short 300 milliseconds before the crash, slow down.

In order to later assign the dents in the cars better, Dieter's head, his shoulder, hands and thighs are painted differently. We want to see if it comes to the contact between head and disk and from the window frame. Always has to reckon with life-threatening injuries. In our experiment, this happens at the speed of 50th DEKRA accident expert Joerg Ahlgrimm: "An adult would have survived seriously injured, at 30 kph on the other hand would be much happened!"
