Such an unexpected tragedy, as a car media person, Uncle Che will not extend the details of this case too much. It is worth noting that according to the estimation of the traffic police department, the speed of Maserati in this incident reached 135km/h! After the accident, three people in Maserati were only slightly injured, especially the female driver who was able to run and escape.

This can't help but remind Uncle Che that many times, luxury sports cars crashed into pieces, but the people inside were safe and sound. Uncle che specially found some other accident maps at the scene. Let's experience it:
You see, millions of sports cars are not as crashworthy as vans. In this regard, the Wuling car is "hanging" Lamborghini all the time. What's going on here?
"Energy absorbing artifact" carbon fiber
As far as ordinary mass-produced family cars are concerned, the body panels are mainly made of steel and steel-aluminum alloy. Metal materials can reach a certain hardness and strength, but they are easy to bend when subjected to external forces, and the effect of resolving impact force is limited, that is, it is not enough to "absorb energy", which is determined by the physical characteristics of metals.
Luxury sports cars seem to be "crash-resistant", but because a large number of carbon fiber composites are widely used in spacecraft and F 1 racing cars. I believe that the modified riders are familiar with this. The texture of carbon fiber body is "advanced" and its unique mechanical properties can improve the "life-saving ability" of vehicles, which is favored by sports car manufacturers.
The density of carbon fiber is less than a quarter of that of steel, which helps to realize the lightweight of vehicles. F 1 The weight of racing cars and drivers is generally not more than 700kg. The key point is that the tensile strength of carbon fiber is several times higher than that of steel. In the event of a collision accident, the carbon fiber structure of luxury sports car will be broken and scattered immediately under the action of external force to absorb the collision kinetic energy, so as to reduce the injury to the people in the cockpit.
Carbon fiber also has the advantages of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and is an ideal automobile material, but the biggest disadvantage is that it is expensive! Perhaps "Expensive is your short board, not its short board", sports car players and sports car manufacturers are used to it. In addition, many sports cars use the rear layout of the engine, and the interior of the front is empty. In the event of a serious collision, prevent the engine from breaking into the cockpit and injuring the people inside.
Understanding "Disassembly and Unloading"
Have riders who usually like to watch F 1 noticed that, as the saying goes, "The car runs on the road, the soul is chasing after it", and the speed of F 1 racing car is nearly 200km/h, and a small operation error can lead to car crash and death, but "death" is not common.
On the one hand, it benefits from the racing suit that brings together all kinds of cutting-edge technologies, on the other hand, it has to be said that TNG collision automatic disintegration technology. In the event of a high-speed collision, the F 1 racing car will "fall apart" and the driver and cab will roll for a certain distance, otherwise the human body will be unbearable under the action of huge inertia. This technology is also used in Ferrari, Lamborghini and other sports cars.
Speaking of which, Uncle Che has to mention the The Fast and the Furious's starring role-Paul Walker car accident. At the time of the incident, Paul Walker was riding a Porsche Carrera GT driven by a friend and crashed into a tree, causing the vehicle to catch fire until it exploded. According to the lawsuit, Paul was trapped in the car with a seat belt. Before the car exploded and burned, he was trapped in the car for more than 1 minute and burned alive. Uncle Che is watching video in the car. Paul is still struggling after the collision. If the car can be disintegrated, maybe his life can be saved.
Che Shu's conclusion
Of course, these are all ways to increase the chances of survival after an accident. Human life is very fragile. When the collision speed reaches 135km/h, basically one foot will step into the gate of hell. Maserati female car owners can escape, which is related to many complicated factors such as collision angle, airbag and seat protection. I don't think she can escape the legal sanction of this robbery. As the Spring Festival approaches, Uncle Che appeals to his riders not to be lucky, but to pay attention to safety! ?
