a scientific test in which a vehicle is crashed to see how safe it is for passengers
A crash test is an experiment conducted to evaluate the safety and performance of a vehicle during a collision. In these tests, vehicles are deliberately crashed into barriers or other objects at various speeds and angles to see how well they protect the people inside. The tests assess things like the strength of the car’s frame, the effectiveness of airbags, and the impact on passengers. The results help improve vehicle design and ensure that cars meet safety standards before they are sold to the public. Crash tests are crucial for making cars safer and reducing injuries in accidents.
- Engineers use a crash test to check if the car is safe in an accident.
- The results of the crash test showed that the new model is very safe.
- Before a car can be sold, it must pass a crash test.
- The crash test dummy was placed in the car to measure the impact.
- Manufacturers improved the car's design after a crash test revealed weaknesses.
