BeamNG has convinced the masses that Broncos are unsafe...

[MWILD]

I'm assuming a lot of you all have seen the videos on social media that show Broncos turning into crushed coke cans the second they crash or are crashed into...

Some examples






I'm guessing most people don't know this, but this is from a PC game called BeamNG drive. The game doesn't feature the Ford Bronco out of the box. Meaning, someone created a Bronco mod for the game and it doesn't represent how the Bronco would behave in the real world, especially since the Bronco has a SFA in the game

If anyone is interested I recorded some "test" videos with the Bronco -driving and crashing and one off-roading with 35's and 42's It's a fun game, but no-one should take it too seriously.

Nope

I can assure you that very few people actually believe BeamNG is real life.

I had a co-worker in the late 90s watch "Anaconda" and proceed to quote "facts" about Anacondas to me

These tic-tacs haven't convinced anyone but themselves, which I'm OK with.

Just a bunch of lemmings. Let them find their own end.

I found those to be fantastically, soothingly, LMAO videos. Thanks for a near belly ache laugh session today. Not quite sure why so darn funny...

So people now trust BeamNG over IIHS tests? Just lol.

From the people who thought eating tide pods was a good idea

You are putting much more faith in the critical thinking skills on the average internet user than I ever would.

Yep. I've had three friends (mid 30's) reach out to me and show me this stupid as shit video telling me to "be careful".

This is a bigger PR issue than it looks because yes, people really are this dumb.

That bottom video though.
Actual footage?
Seems legit.
Top comes flying off and I especially like the self-healing doors, reattaching mirrors like an Iron Man suit, and rock rails. Ford should patent that part.
I'd like a self-healing Iron Man/Wolverine mashup Bronco please. It would make trail days ever so much more fun. Or Target runs. Either way.

What? Next your going to tell me that Jaws wasn’t real…

Yeah I've been seeing these all over and they totally piss me off. At first I was completely surprised on how many people think this is real.... And then I came back to my senses and realized the internet is full of stupid people.

These are the same folks that don't even bother reading anything below the headline or gathering any facts, and are directly responsible for turning everything into .

Hard to believe there so many brain dead sheep out there... scary.

Yes, and I hate to break it to you, but '69 Chargers can't jump ravines without significant damage, no matter what numbers and flags you paint on them
