For those of you that dont visit the WA AULROians area.
Have a look how a 3 door stood up to a severe accident.
I believe the driver may have not been so lucky in a lesser vehicle.

Although quite caved in the passenger area structure looks to be mostly intact, the A/B/C pillars must be fairly strong.

Wow, the driver sure was one lucky person!!!

Judging by the skidmarks left on the road,he didnt wash off much speed before hitting the pipeline.Its around 4 feet in diameter,full of water,just like hitting a block of concreate.

Actually the occupants are lucky - the D1s, particularly in non airbag form had a poor crash rating - even for the time when they were new.

I had an early 94 D1 without airbags when they were crash tested (I think in 95) - they were not well rated and in a decent frontal crash you could expect to loose your legs below the knee.
