Volvo Drop 10 Vehicles from a crane for extreme crash testing https://youtu.be/C9ei3I3oxo8

Volvo Cars has executed its most extreme crash tests ever, dropping several new cars multiple times from a crane from a height of 30 meters (98.4 ft).
Extrication specialists often use cars crashed at the Volvo Cars Safety Center to hone their life-saving skills. However, there’s so much they can simulate with ordinary crash testing. To allow them to prepare for any possible scenario and simulate the forces unleashed in the most extreme crashes, the Swedish automaker took things one step further.
In such scenarios, people trapped inside the car are likely to be in a critical condition. Therefore the priority is to get them out of the car and to a hospital as quickly as possible, using hydraulic rescue tools known in the industry as ‘the jaws of life’. That needs to happen really fast, as extrication specialists often talk about ‘the golden hour’: an injured patient needs to be released and taken to the hospital within one hour after the accident has happened.
