Crash test dummy tests show what happens when a car hits a bike

Crash test dummies are widely used to show the impact of a crash on the driver of the car and their passenger.  They've even been used to show the impact of a car hitting a pedestrian.  As far as I know however, no such tests have been done to show the impact of a collision between motorist and cyclist.  Until now that is.

The following video does just that.  It was produced in Germany and sees crash tests involving electric bicycles hitting fellow cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.

  1. Anything that comes into contact with a fast moving car is going to have a bad time of it. Interesting that a bike helmet doesn't really help in such a collision though.

    • Sound advice David. Even if their protection is limited in the kind of crashes tested in the video, I\’m sure they do much more good than harm.
