A series of car-to-fixed pole crash tests was performed. The test vehicles were 2-door Volkswagen Rabbits. Three crashes were performed to select a test condition which represented a serious-to-fatal chest injury producing highway accident. The fourth crash utilized a structurally modified Rabbit with 3 inches of side interior padding. The report documents the selection of the crash conditions and the acceleration results as measured on the vehicles and on the 2 dummy surrogates used for each test.
