Question

At about what speed would a single car accident be virtually guaranteed to be fatal?

Answer 1

Its not how fast you are going, it's how fast you stop.

Consider that 747 that dived, inverted, into the mountainside; despite going 4 times highway speeds, no airbags, inverted, into a mountain, some people actualy survived.

So there is no specific speed at which people will garuntee die in a crash, it all depends on how the car hit. Did it slide? Did the airbag deploy? Were the occupants wearing seatbelts? Did it go head-on with a semi?

The slowest I heard someone die at in a crash I think they were t-boned by someone doing 60km/h. Fastest I heard someone going and still live was that guy on you-tube who outran police in his corvette, crashed, without a seatbelt, tumbled out of the car, and somehow still lived.

Answer 2

Could be less than 10mph if you drive off a cliff...............LOL

Answer 3

It could be at any speed from 10 mph to 100 mph.........

Answer 4

You are never guaranteed to live or die in a car crash I have seen people walk away from accidents that you couldn't even make out what kind of vehicle it was. But at the same time there have been people killed from just a minor accidents. It's all in Gods hands, I'll leave it up to him.

Answer 5

Inside the car or outside?......Inside the car,  they have tested rocket cars on the salt flats at over 600mph that have went bad and the driver has survived. Outside the car, well, Smart Car?  probably bounce off you, another car  could be at 5 mph.

Answer 6

walking speed if you were driving my car :D

Answer 7

Ive lived from a crash going 125 so i would say to guarantee death would be about 220.
