Anyone have any videos or information on the rear-end collisions?

I'd be most concerned about my head going backwards after impact. Its not like the seats give much head support...long way to snap back after bouncing off the airbag.

yeah that didnt look too fun...the back of my head is already flat, i think an impact like that would just imprint the seat "grill" on the back of my head

so does anyone know the real speed the car was going?

I belive crashing into a stationary barrier like that is supposed to simulate a head-on collision with another car of the same weight. I think it has to do with that whole equal-but-opposite reaction thing...

The mirror appears to flip forward when the "penetration" reaches the end of the crush zones. Notice how close the crush is to where the drivers feet are?
