I’m so confused by this one. I’ve seen so many crashes but what exactly happened here? Did they go over a clif or something? Instant death with no outer injury? Must have been the sheer percussion I’m guessing.

Since they weren't wearing seatbelts, when the car came to a stop during the crash with a truck, their internal organs continued to travel at the same speed until they smashed against the ribcage. Their internal injuries and brain damage are catastrophic.

Seat belt wouldn't have done shit to save them. Seat belts don't magically counteract physical law. No way to beat out inertia when you have liquid insides. Plus, one girl suffered an internal decapitation. They were dead no matter which way you flipped it.

Obviously, I can't speak to their survivability in this exact situation. But seatbelts stretch to slow you down as you get flung during a crash, even a fraction of a second slower deceleration dramatically reduces the amount of impact force your body experiences, and thus lowers your chance of death. They'd still be fucked up, sure, but I think they'd be safer getting hit in the chest with a seatbelt over a few miliseconds than instantly decelerating into the seat in front of them.

They all died from whiplash injuries or damage from their head going sideways into the frame/ roof of the car, the cars roof was caved in so much it was touching the woman’s head while she’s sitting in the rear drivers side door. A seatbelt wouldn’t have done, literally anything in this. seatbelts really help in front impacts, getting t-boned, all that can save you is the strength of the b-pillar and MAYBE in a racing car, a roll cage, 5 point harness, and bucket seat, but even then look at what happened to ryan newman in the daytona 500 in 2020, that dude barely made it out from that t-bone crash on the a-pillar and door

They were hit by a truck going the opposite side. Crazy how fast everything happened tho.
