Audi earns it's crash rating

I wonder if he forgot to take off his seatbelt. Sad case. 70mph into a pole must be brutal. The car definitely did it's job to prevent him from taking his life.

since he was found outside the car on the ground, most likely he had it off. pretty amazing that he survived, and will survive...

THIS IS EVEN MORE AMAZING CONSIDERING THAT

THEY CRASH TEST THE CARS AT HALF THAT SPEED .

TWICE THE SPEED MEANS FOUR TIMES THE ENERGY AT IMPACT .

I DON'T WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT A 2002 HITTING SOMETHING

AT 70 !

Agreed Rimspoke. This definitely gave it's life to save his. I had to do a double take when I saw that he was estimated to be going 70 and survived. Even in a modern car, that's a lot of energy scrub off in such a short distance.

It really goes to show how well made new cars are.

70! Just think of it!
