Punch up SCOTTYS SAFETY SCOOP VIDEO--The front end crash ended out good, but the cage first crash would have probably been fatal

The way they did it made it irrelevant to any actual crash. Should have made it detach from the sled before it hit the wall so the frame could rotate

True, but this keeps it controlled so if they test another chassis, the conditions are exactly the same. If you detached it from the sled before impact, it would rotate a different way each time.

That crash looks like a No Win situation short of an ejection seat that comes out of the floor pan of the car...

I completely agree...I'm just saying that they have to control the experiment to get consistent results. I do think they should try a test with the wing on it to see what impact that has on it as well.
