Like “Tough Love,” and “Scared Straight,” these 10 videos from Jalopnik, are harsh medicine and after seeing them, you will never pilot a car the same or forget to buckle up. Ever.

A truly harrowing set of videos that illustrate how the laws of physics are truly finite, i.e. hit a stationary object at a high enough speed and cars have a tendency to disintegrate.

Watch as front seats are ripped off their foundations and test dummies flail out on to tarmac. Witness a Ford Focus hitting a wall at 100 mph in slow motion. See a poor Citroen 2CV flattened between a truck and another car. Check out what happens when a late model Malibu rear ends a big box truck. Of course, no crash compilation would be complete with a Pinto exploding in a fiery plume.

Ironically, the anti-car crowd has suggested for years that folks didn’t need big vehicles like full size sedans, SUV’s and trucks and that manufactures were “forcing” these types of vehicles on consumers. Yeah right. Americans are much smarter than given credit for and they bought the biggest, safest rigs they could afford. With all the safety advancements of the last two decades, all cars are safer and light years ahead of older vehicles in crash tests, but after seeing these videos, a big honkin’ rig (with ten airbags,) may be the only automobile  you’d ever consider.
