My Bronco T-boned broadsided by a Pathfinder at 50 mph. Walked away with small scrape on arm

There are some fake crash test videos out there that were from a simulation. They show the bronco folding like an accordion. Obviously total BS. Now more than ever do research.

For sure. And addressed in some of my other comments here.

Hopefully the Nissan had insurance. Assuming he was at fault...

Glad everyone is ok. If your Parting out I want those fender flares

50mph? For that speed, it looks to have held up quite well!

I watched a guy run a red in front of me and t-bone a dude last year. Speed was about 40mph, sedan on sedan. The car that got t-boned looked like the driver's side door just caved in completely, I was certain I was going to find a dead guy or need a tourniquet. Had a sick feeling prying the doors open. Incredibly, the driver was fine and was smoking a cigarette and calling his insurance.

As I get older I get more and more worried about accidents. Good to see the Bronco holds up well in collisions.

I'm sorry that you lost your Bronco, but glad that your daughter was not more seriously injured.

Forgive me if this has been addressed earlier, but are you planning to replace the Bronco?

Glad your daughter is okay!

If you had "a lot of people" asking if you saw it, and it was "pretty convincing", that's concerning!

It was obviously computer generated.

If "a lot of people" can be fooled with that cartoonish animation, we're doomed!

We've been doomed for a while...

The high-strength steel that they use in vehicles today, and I know Ford uses a lot of it, is simply amazing at how strong it actually is for its thickness.

I'm glad everyone is in good health. Has she described the air bag deployment experience? I'm curious to know how the side curtain air bag worked and her description of it.

My 17 year old daughter was broad sided by a Pathfinder going 50 mph. She walked away with a small scrape on her arm. It’s amazing how much damage the impact caused and for her to not be harmed. The Bronco is a total loss.

Sorry to hear that, but I am glad everyone was okay. Only a car right? I was hit on the side and my bronco rolled over. I walked away with minor cuts, scrabs and swollen arm. I'm surprised only my bronco took major damage

For being broadsided 50MPH by a SUV, the Bronco did amazingly well.

OMG. I can't imagine how worried you must have been for her. SO glad to hear the Bronco took care of your daughter.

DIBS on the flares, lights, & mirrors if you're parting out!
