Crap test, if you hit another car at 5mph head on then its bumpers will absorb some of the damage, you are unlikely to hit an unmoveable object.Even a hydrant or a pole will bend or break absorbing some of the energy.

You can't build bumpers that are so high like they want them,its just a stupid test.And where do you find such an adamant bumper who dont move, the car has to slip under it?When to cars crash at low speed normaly both bumpers are at the same level and both deform.Its an escapist test with no conclusion for reality.But the idea of the test, is not bad.

well who cares about bumper bars anyway. I know what cars im buying and not buying so im not bothered as long as its got an outstanding crash safety record. Bumper scrapes happen through driver error so as long as u r careful, u aint gotta worry

I designed and installed my own damn bumper push bars for about 30 bucks. Anybody who can't do what I did for themselves.....well, natural selection. I get to live and they get to die. Simple as that. Identify the problems and fix them, otherwise, you are a helpless whimpering coward. I hate cowards. I have to deal with them all the time and their complaints, like some kind of consumer advocate god is supposed to protect them from "bad stuff." well, there is no god, You have to look after yours.

What happens to these cars after they are done with the testing? Salvage? Scrap? What?

good observation...aside from repair bills you also have to deal with therapy treatment for it's trauma...
