It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand. Or survive.

[@jeepthing98]

Interesting that the top was removed for the test. I would have liked to see if the panels stayed in place after this crash.

[@ThatOne_omarr]

Imagine not having side airbags Jeep 💀

[@christopherredhead4182]

Probably wouldn't have deployed in a crash like this anyway

[@MDKN22]

Well the Wrangler got them for 2024, so I highly doubt they won't be integrated when the Gladiator gets its refresh in 2025.

@@MDKN22 oh

[@tedubadu2536]

@@christopherredhead4182totally!! Which is why every other truck in this category deployed the side airbags

[@Wasabi9111]

Wranglers are so popular in my suburban town as family vehicles. I would expect parents to drive safer family vehicles.

[@darraghmckenna9127]

Looks like a fun rollercoaster ride for rear passenger

[@zyke612]

that wheel is taking all the brunt of the impact!

[@BarcelonaBlitzer]

Good design

[@zyke612]

@@BarcelonaBlitzerit isnt good for forces on the dummy, because there's little energy absorption.

[@Dontdoitguy]

@@BarcelonaBlitzerthey got a Poor rating how is that good ?

[@iivnn1945]

I an now fully convinced that Jeep does not give single damn about safety.

[@hector_nimrod]

At least she didnt rolled over like the Wangler

[@ryanpham3308]

Wrong crash test

[@steve_772]

Not the same test.

[@stuffjunk5019]

jeep is just like "screw air bags. we die like men komrades" lmao

[@yalmanali6631]

Idk why it got a poor because the driver airbag got fully touched by the dummy and the backseat dummy just pulled a bit

[@wilmarbarrick3194]

Why can't I find a SMALL OVERLAP test on the Jeep Gladiator?

[@rejectedprojects7702]

How would you die the jeep took it like a champ the hood is still in mint condition

[@nickolastiguan]

Jeep being Jeep 😂

[@sulzous]

nothing was funny abt that

[@madrx2]

That is horrific

[@MarksCar-rs1nm]

A lot better that it didn’t flip on it’s side like the Wrangler did

Arka koltuktaki kişinin beli veya kalçası kırılacaktır. Nereden biliyorum? Benzer kazayı yaptım ve arabanın arkası böyle kalkmış, emniyet kemeri iyice kavramamıştı.

Over my dead body...

[@corneliusSunflower]

Das frekken funy righ der

[@MrApplesaucestuff]

Why do this with outdated models? How about some 2024 models at this point?

[@Ididntwantayoutubehandl]

For one, we need to see test ratings for every make and model year. Secondly, they're privately funded and from my understanding if manufacturers don't give autos to them they have to pay from their budget. It takes time.

[@johny4376]

Jeep updated the structure by adding a thick chunk of steel bolted to the frame directly behind the front wheels for 2022+ specifically for this test

[@MrApplesaucestuff]

@@johny4376 still failed the test

[@carabooseOG]

I'm continuously amazed that people still buy Jeeps...
They're not safe, they're not overly useful, they're not even good at their off road lineage anymore.

[@DoSum4Me]

Because they’re fun to drive with the roof and doors off, the gladiator and wrangler still come in a manual. They’re amazing off road, look awesome and there’s a great community behind them. - you can do some google searching and find real world crashes Involving the gladiators and wrangler and you’ll see that the people inside almost always survive. Same can’t be said for the vehicles that they hit.

[@haidengameplays]

Why is it a poor

[@haidengameplays]

@@symawd not good

[@hammycow26]

It seems like the rear seatbelt decelerated the dummy too quickly because it didn't extend enough. This caused a high likelihood of chest injuries and a relatively high likelihood of injuries to the neck. If you look at a better-rated vehicle, like the Nissan Frontier, the dummy can move further forward by the seatbelt (but not so far forward that the head contacts the front seat). This additional belt extension acts like a shock absorber, scrubbing off the dummy's inertia at a slower, less violent rate.

[@SuperMrgentleman]

Rear passenger goes flying half a foot in the air after being jerked forward

[@kem0n0.kokomo]

It's fine, just don't be a rear passenger 😆

I watched this just to see a Gladiator get crashed. These things are absolutely hideous
