This awesome video shows the crash test on the new SLS. Skip to 2:15 in the video to see the star of the video. The car is a gullwing design which begs the question what happens if you roll over, the doors wont open. Small charges in the door blows the hinges when the car knows its upside down. Enjoy:

Looks like it performed pretty well in the offset. No noticeable distortion of the passenger compartment. Can't tell about the engine intrusion from the vid. Great idea about blowing the hinges. Now I just have to find the funds to afford it!! Wonder if the safety-first argument will work with the wifey? LOL.

what fascinates me are the airbags.. just airbags in general... i mean these suckers are popped before you even move in the car. that tech is just fascinating to me. i hope i never get to experience that because i know they scare the #$%# out of you... IF your cognizant at the time of course.. ;-)
