The research on automotive safety usually involves crash test experiments. These tests are very expensive, often difficult to replicate, which may lead to serious loss. This paper shows the crash test reliability analysis and classifies the risk of failure of such experiment. 46 frontal crash tests were conducted with the use of crash test dummies. All the tests were prepared according to the standard operating procedure (SOP) and the strict check list was followed before each run. All the tests were categorized for loss and analyzed for the cause of failure. Then the probability of failure of crash test experiment was calculated. From 46 conducted tests, 6 failed, which is 13% of all the tests. The main reason of the test failures was human mistake. The results show that probability of loss during crash tests is very likel.
