Pas Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 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.

Fantmx Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 There is nothing Hummer about an H2. All they are is a 3/4 Suburban chassis with a shoebox on them.

.Neo Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I had a nice pic of Hummer vs an Amsterdam Siemens Combino Tram, but I can't seem to find it back. To sum it up: The Hummer didn't perform very well there either. :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517540-hummer-vs-schoolbus/page/2/#findComment-588100194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete_power Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 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....

Leddy Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 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.

Xeta Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 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.

sorlag Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 They need to add some steel to the hummer...

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.

+s55 Subscriber¹ Posted December 11, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 11, 2006 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.
