Hummer vs. Schoolbus


Recommended Posts

those pics are from WRTV in Indianapolis. the driver walked away and there wasn't anyone in the passenger seat. the accident happened earlier this week, i believe, although it may have been late last week. i remember seeing the newscast but can't remember exactly when it was.

The fact the person walked away is actually something to merit Hummer with. Had it of been hit on the other side, i dont think they would of been alive.

But at the same time, i hate the way people link big cars with safety. Some big cars/trucks are, some arnt. Just because its big, doesnt mean its clever.

i think they forgot to add "with injuries"

the drives def will have hurt his knees, shoulder, chest, neck, back, and arms... you won't see him in the hospital with a machine to breathe for him, but he/she sure as hell will be at home in bed for the next 3 weeks and maybe months of physical therapy.

Hummers are just expensive toys...their performance is the worst in the SUV class, they consume the most amount of gas in the SUV class, they are no good offroad, they are more fragile than a 1996 Toyota Corolla (okay maybe not....:D), and they REALLY don't look good! Now school buses are basically a steel box with double reinforced steel bars running all around the frame and not to mention the roof of the bus is the heaviest part. It is made of steel to prevent crumpling if it rolls. So basically, no matter how you cut this, the school bus is like a tank and not the hummer....

Ha ha! Reminds me of a friend of mine that managed to hit a school bus while we were still in high school. Yeah, he never heard the end of that. It's a giant yellow thing with flashing lights. Pretty damn hard to miss.

I had no idea that a school bus was built like that. It makes sense and all, but damn... The impact was strong enough to lift the rear of the bus onto the curb and yet, the rear end is nearly intact.

The issue with the strong schoolbuses is that it will most certainly kill whoever is in the vehicle that collides with it. Had the schoolbus crumpled, the damage to the hummer would have been reduced.

It's better for 1 or 2 people to get pwned than for the lives of 60 children to be at risk.

and yes, I also think that the H2 stinks.

my general impression is alot of American cars arnt built to the same standards as Eu Cars. I'm not picking on the americans here. it just seems to be the case which is prob why their cars are so cheap in comparison to ours *IN GENERAL*. That hummer probably wouldn't make a 1star Euro Ncap rating over here. There always seems to be a rediculus amount of damage done when you see an American car crash. as in. passenger compartment disappears. Doesn't seem to happen so much over here unless the idiot decides to fly into a truck at 150mph going down the wrong side of the road.
