Safety Risks
Motorcoach
NHSTA Crash Test 2007
The first time NHTSA ever crash tested a motorcoach was Dec. 2007. Watch the windows pop and the dummies fly in only a 30mph frontal crash. Listen to the glass shatter and watch the roof deform in a 0 mph rollover test.
A Killer Combination
- High Risk Rollover and Frontal Collision (throws you out of your seat)
- 70% of all fatality crashes Rollover or Roadside
- 65% Single Vehicle Accidents
- 56% Total Fatalities by Ejection
- 70% Fatalities in Rollover Crashes by Ejection
- 36% Fatalities in Non-rollover collisions
- FARS 96-05; known in 1999
- Injuries even higher
- Statistics higher post 2006
- Lack of Basic Occupant Protections (nothing to keep you in)
- No seat belts (NTSB Most Wanted since 1999)
- No Window Retention (NTSB since 1999)
- No Roof Crush/Rollover Protections (NTSB Most Wanted since 1999)
