I drive a 30 ft long Chrysler 300. even though the car has steel reinforcement everywhere, it's a bit disconcerting to see that the only part crumpled like a ball of paper is where the driver is.
I actually was a Limo driver in LA, you wouldn't believe how people act while in one of these cars. If ask them to use the seat belt they get pissed and look at you like your nuts. I drove. 9 passenger stretched Lincoln newer than the one in this video. Dealing with 9 drunk passengers is a nightmare. The other thing is that because they are paying you they think they can treat you like dirt. So if you are in a limo. Please use the seat belt. Don't look at the driver like he's nuts if he asks you to do so. And please try to treat the driver with some respect. We're just trying to make a living doing our job. Also if you are kind to us driver's you'll be surprised at what we will go out of our way to do for you. And $2.00 isn't a tip. In that case keep it, you need it more than I do.
I remember watching this episode with my parents when it first aired on Channel 5 in 2008 or 2009. I remember having to reach for a cushion and firmly place it over my groin after the delightful young woman in the purple dress flashed her arse out the window.
@@Hitemwhereithurtss Reminds me of a "Wonder Years" episode, when the teen boy refused to go to the chalkboard because "my foot fell asleep." The teacher was in hot pants and something ELSE was wide awake!
Me Too! How did they ALL die with no fire or explosion?? Well-at 60 mph and no seatbelt on they probably got thrown. I think buses should have them, too. OTOH, if it rolls, it can smash your head like a pile driver. Even on airport shuttle buses, I try to buckle up (if I can find the male and female ends of the belt.)
Don't order the cheapest limo service? if the limo shows up and its 15+ years old (in the rust belt to boot) immediately apparent that the mechanical state is not tip top. Exhaust leaks) DONT FUCKING GET IN IT!
Being your chances of surviving a 60mph impact into a wall are slim to none no matter what you are driving, belted in or not, I would say that the limo is pretty damn safe for the passengers. Keep in mind that that is a "worst case scenario"... The extreme mass of that limo pretty much guarantees that any other car hitting this thing will lose horribly.
Yeah. He should have fastened the seat belt on one of the dummies in the rear seat to illustrate how a restrained passenger would survive an accident that an unrestrained passenger would not.
Yeah. Based on the video, such a tragic aftermath most likely could have been traced back to passengers not wearing seatbelts. Although it's a legal requirement, the fact that limos have tinted windows makes it very difficult to enforce.
Tests like this are more cautionary than truly enlightening. Because the outcome is just pure physics at play, and would be the same no matter what the vehicle is. If you run anything into a concrete wall, loose contents inside will continue forward motion into the nearest hard surface until energy is dissipated. Be it unbelted occupants, or a belted occupants internal organs. Impact equals splat, so it's best to avoid high speed wrecks all together. On a side note, the limo's mid-section held together very well. Downright tank-like,
AgentAndroid the seat belts aren't anchored to the seats, and with your ass strapped down in them, they would barely move any way. It doesn't make any difference. On top of that, very few cars actually have the rear seat bottoms BOLTED into the floor, they just clip into place.
After driving stretched Towncars 1M+ miles, it's precisely what I expected. Laws of physics in this type of crash doom the driver, especially as the steering column pushes through his chest.
Most people envision crash protection as the resistance to protrusion, i.e. keeping the other vehicle outside your car. That's important to be sure, witness tiny Honda 500 or Smart cars vs. trucks and SUV's. Equally menacing is the sheer 'G' forces. We are reminded of the Lady Di accident, where incredible forces were at play with a large vehicle hitting a concrete pillar. So, at a certain severity of crash, it doesn't matter about the deformation of your car; the forces alone are beyond our survivability. That's why they developed 'crash zones', where the body can fold and dissipate some of the impact. Again, small vehicles have no such area to fold.
What about when the sunroof is open with a passenger standing up during a crash. Why not a Princess Di with a drunk driver, a woman screaming at the driver and plenty of pillars?
Hey guys Do you think it's possible to do this kind of test with a sleeperbus ( nightliner/ tourbus) ? I think it's really interesting wat happen with this people they are sleeping in the bunks Cheers

@@CycolacFan funeral coaches ferry the grieving loved ones, the hearse carries the coffin, though that is also a heavily modified chassis and would like to see the results
In the UK we sometimes also call the hearse a coach, the car carrying the mourners would be the limousine or mourners car. I'd imagine with a solid floor and, usually, a partition behind the driver the hearse would be stronger than the limo. Likely the same results as shown in the film, front end folds with crumple zones, rear portion intact.
That was great! I've never seen a crash test of a stretch limo.. I don't know if seat belts would help as much as some might think. Don't get me wrong, they'd help, but how much? When the thing is so rigid all that energy is transferred to the passengers. The front section might absorb enough of the energy to make it work. The driver is in a hopeless position.
A person is tempted to wonder how well the seats are attached to the frame of the vehicle so that the use of the seatbelts is actually..."useful". Do these custom car companies building these things actually pay attention to proper engineering at least equivalent to the original manufacturers?
limo or no limo .your body is traveling the same speed and if not protected ,your body will continue traveling until it hits something to stop it . airbags are good to hit. the solid inside of a limo vary bad. it is the same effect as if only your body was propelled into the wall.
Me checking TH-cam: Hmm, I haven't seen a crash test on a Limo yet. I got one (click) Watching the video till I reach moment 1:21. Ok I had enough of this video. Who cares, I won't ride a Limo anyways lol
Heaps of limos are MANUFACTURED as such. All the US major manufacturers, Mercedes, and several others do Yes many too are just cut and shut standard cars and will never be as strong as the proper limos. Though generally suffice as to what their intended use is.
My wife would never wear her seat belt on short trips to the shop or really pay attention to what she was doing behind the wheel, she died of head injury's in level crossing accident which she would have survived if she had been wearing her seat belt.
Limos are highly overrated. They have a ride like sitting on a big bag of rocks. Way to ruin a perfectly comfortable and competency car. Wonder why the seat came out?
When the limo chrashed into the wall and destroyed the front the limo didn’t explode becuase when car crash tests are made they remove the gas from the vehicles so they don’t explode.
How senseless is that? These are beautiful cars and you crash all these dream cars only just for fun … the Lincoln Town Car is a classic collectors car 🚘 here in Germany and incredible expensive here 😡😡😡

The seatbelts wouldn't have done much because the seats weren't even anchored to the floor
As you can see the rear seats are still ok after the Crash.
seat belts are bolted to the body of the car, not the seat

Should do some rear end collision tests on these vehicles. Duplicate what happens if you are hit in the rear while stopped. (like at a stop sign)
the driver is a dead man , lol
In death, limo drivers have names. His name was Robert Paulson.

Interesting video! Newer model MKT limos are fully tested and equipped with all the seat belts though.
If it were not for safety I would've preferred the Town Car over the MKT.
0:17 - Is that "Ringo Starr" ????
I know at one time Cadillac produced limousines where as other companies as you say cut and added. They were the only company that did in modem times.
What about the Packard limousine????????
“But somehow, seatbelts don’t seem like a part of stretch limo culture”
And That’s Why You Should Drive Limos Instead Of Stretch Limos
Ouch... these series of videos really make you look at cars and their passengers in a very different way...

Good waste of a perfectly nice older Lincoln. Black leather interior and all parts. I wish they used a newer or different model.

yes, but then again not many people hire an old LINCOLN
nowadays people hire newer limos which must be safer.....

So cut and shuts are safer then?
Nope. The welding weakens the chassis. Specialist techniques are used when limos are made to prevent this problem arising.
MrSupercar55 Why don't the likes of Lincoln just make limo's built to order? at least no cut and shut would be needed then.
