If there's nothing else in the way, your theory works.
Being lighter may be a benefit in a crash. Its seems to me that being lighter allows the car to be more easily moved in a crash. This could result in it taking less impact force because the car would begin to move away sooner then a heavier car.
I could be completely wrong on this one, but it makes sense in my simple little brain. Any science type people smarter then me wanna chime in?
It is a bit unique in that the standard offset crash tests would result in a glancing blow. I think that makes it considerably safer than something of similar size in frontal collisions. It's probably similar or a bit safer in rear end accidents as well due to the long crumple zone, but worse in side impacts since either side is close to the driver.
Looks like a great product, I went to their web site only to be discouraged by this: "The spray disappears when washed". A possible replacement and much less expensive, tho I have no experience with it is this: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-21...xgy_200_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1DV16P4GQYKG3492KHAK
Even my old slide-rule can calculate better than that.Does this make any sense; they state 1 can $5.94 or 6 can $50.07
Umm with my old style math 6x$5.94=$35.64
That has to be that new core math to come up with $50 for a 6pk.
An interesting video but Elio isn't a Yaris or a Smart car. Elio is unique so i can see how crash testing it would be hard.
