The report contains the results of a side impact crash test involving a 1985 Honda Civic Si and a modified eccentric loader breakaway cable terminal (MELT). The test was performed at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located in McLean, Virginia. The automobile impacted the MELT at 28.4 mph (45.7 km/h) on the driver's side door. The test data indicate that the hypothetical driver of this vehicle would be subjected to unacceptably high values of impact velocity with the vehicle interior, ridedown accelerations, and head accelerations. The extensive passenger compartment intrusion observed in this test would place an occupant in such a collision at grave risk of a very severe injury.
