Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.

The forces on the dummy's left lower leg would be sufficient to break a driver's leg.

Forces on the neck were moderately high as the dummy rebounded, indicating the possibility of injury.
