The report contains the results of a side impact crash test involving a 1982 Dodge Colt and a slipbase luminaire support. The test was performed at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located in McLean, Virginia. The automobile impacted the pole at 20.8 mph (33.5 km/h) on the driver's side door. The impact location was aligned with the side impact dummy's shoulder with the seat in the midtrack position. This test is a repeat of Test 4 except that the bolt clamping force was reduced from 14 to 6 kips. Unlike the Test 4 case, lockup did not occur. Damage to the side structure of the vehicle was less severe. The maximum crush was 10 in (254 mm) in this test, compared with 18.8 in (477.5 mm) of crush in the lockup test (Test 4). The comparable Enquist-Svensen-Vanke (ESV) pole test (Test 2) resulted in a vehicular crush of 9.0 in (229 cm). The Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and Thoracic Trauma Index (TTI) values were not obtainable in this test due to failure of the dummy instrumentation.
