I started several suggestions.

Exactly. Read through the IIHS moderate offset years of the 02 Dodge caravan for a good example of manufacturer expectations versus real life results.
The point is that in real life crash tests, the wheel either sheers off (Volvo xc 90) or crushes the footwell (Chrysler town and country).
Don’t overestimate parts reliability on Toyota Land Cruisers, Doug. I had to replace the hand brake on one of my 100 series at 315,000 miles.
Neither groceries nor kids? Dude, get one at least.
That is incredible.
The mighty Swedish Vasa, was sunk on her maiden voyage by a sudden gust of wind which filled her sails and blew her over.
The other problem is that fuel economy should be expressed in gallons per hundred miles rather than mpg. The actual gain is less than 20% in terms of fuel consumption per mile. 34-41 mpg equates to 2.9-2.4 gallons per hundred miles, or a 17% decrease in fuel consumption.
My 01 Volvo s80 had the same issue. I was told it was a type of glue that was used that had the distinct crayola oder.
As a land cruiser owner it’s sometimes easy to forget that they can’t do everything.
Good point.
Very interesting. Infant car seats are not tested for Nij either, which is why forward facing car seats will sometimes get better crash rating results, despite rear facing car seats having real world statistical outcomes up to 5 times safer than forward facing infant car seats.
Given that the issue is the mass of the body forcing a helmet head upward with enough force to break a spine, adding a weighted seat cushion would make it worse.
For male pilots, correct. However, this is the airplane taking us well into the 21st century and many combat pilots will be female, hence the 103lb design requirement.
Actually it’s per vehicles registered. That’s why sports cars have lower injury rates: because they often have lower exposure. 15 years ago, the safest vehicles in terms of having low injury rates were three quarter ton pickups, Toyota Land cruisers, and Porsche 911s. The land cruisers because of size and design, 911s…
Oh, and Jeep regressed in the 2015 study from what you posted.
Dude, that chart is from 2009 referencing vehicles now ten years old. The 2015 IIHS driver death rate study showed that l large SUVs were the safest vehicles on the road, ten times safer than small cars. It also showed that multi vehicle accidents are now a more common source of fatalities than single vehicle. And…
