Also, putting big …
Also, putting big bumpers is COMPLETELY missing the point. The source of the problem is that there is a compatibility issue between bumpers of SUVs and cars, not bumper size. Thing is, putting low bumpers on an SUV does not look good at all, and cars are more stylish and sportier with low bumpers (like the Mercedes C class here).

Wow, the guy …
Wow, the guy talking here is a idiot. If this were true: that you can have bigger bumpers and keep the car stylish, then EVERY SINGLE car manufacturer would be doing this since it saves them and the insurance companies money. The reason they don’t do it is because big bumpers look ugly and are not stylish at all.
Is this guy retarded?

Another note. This …
Another note. This genius was also the one that said having a higher bumper and blah blah can be done without sacrificing style.
Seriously genius, that’s why you’re there wasting money and watching cars crash into a bumper instead of designing cars for Ferrari or Lamborghini…
As long as there are pickups and SUVs on the roads, these sedans will always perform poor because those trucks rides higher…

Yea… I really …
Yea… I really don’t see a point in this test. Yes it happens everyday, but when was the last time you heard of a person say “I’m buying car X over car Y because the IIHS said car Y’s bumper is better designed to save me money should I run into a bumper attached to a wall.”
It really is a complete waste of money… but meh, it’s a private test so guess they had extra money to blow.

Crap test, if you …
Crap test, if you hit another car at 5mph head on then its bumpers will absorb some of the damage, you are unlikely to hit an unmoveable object.
Even a hydrant or a pole will bend or break absorbing some of the energy.

You can’t build …
You can’t build bumpers that are so high like they want them,its just a stupid test.And where do you find such an adamant bumper who dont move, the car has to slip under it?When to cars crash at low speed normaly both bumpers are at the same level and both deform.
Its an escapist test with no conclusion for reality.But the idea of the test, is not bad.

well who cares …
well who cares about bumper bars anyway. I know what cars im buying and not buying so im not bothered as long as its got an outstanding crash safety record. Bumper scrapes happen through driver error so as long as u r careful, u aint gotta worry

I designed and …
I designed and installed my own bumper push bars for about 30 bucks. Anybody who can’t do what I did for themselves…..well, natural selection. I get to live and they get to die. Simple as that. Identify the problems and fix them, otherwise, you are a helpless whimpering coward. I hate cowards. I have to deal with them all the time and their complaints, like some kind of consumer advocate god is supposed to protect them from “bad stuff.” well, there is no god, You have to look after yours.
