So that's why Beetles are that funny curved shape - just roll 'em back over :2thumbsup

haha, good quality.

I would have liked to see how many of those that rolled were able to continue after being righted. A couple of them smashed up well though :)

And not a helmet in sight...

About halfway through there is a red car that looks like it crushes the passenger.....:inquisiti

Quite scary though - remind me NOT to try any arse-out antics in my Coupe!!:speechles

I have to say, I thought the one where the passenger fell out was comedy gold.
:2thumbsup

Reminds me of the old Fiat 500 crash video from New Zealand. Has that been posted here before? I couldn't find it after a cursory search of the forums...

Faaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrkinell - it's no wonder there were so many fatalities back in the day - that's one of the SLOWEST corners!!!! Thank goodness for Intel Pentium 4 powered VR4s, Evos, and Skylines!

There isn't even a full covering of armco there at that stage, so it must be very early 70's.

Excellent find - truly breathtaking, frightening, and hilarious all at the same time. I spat my coffee across the room when I saw the guy "ejecting".

Haha! Well.....most of the cars in that video were smashed to pieces after a tiny half roll, but those Beetles were staying largely intact (save for the windows). Maybe we should all rent a 60's Beetle each, install harnesses and take out the glass, then go bumper car racing!!

I seen this the other day, im sure it was on tv?:thinking: meh, anyways.. those two crashes there in it, but there were also a bunch of other crashes, same corner, and same race ( i think ) all of them coming into that corner way to fast..
