A Smart Car accident at the end of 2009 in England gave a real world look at Smart Car safety.

The article mentions the woman survived the front-end collision:

The Smart car went out of control and ran into the back of the Land Rover, shunting it forwards.

Firefighters from Bolton and Horwich spent more than 30 minutes cutting free the woman from her wrecked car, while paramedics gave her painkillers.

She was taken to the Royal Bolton Hospital suffering from a shoulder injury.

The video below has been popular on the internet since 2005 with over 13 million views on YouTube.
