The INSURANCE institute for Highway safety is an Insurance company financed group that tries to force automakers into building stronger cars by publicly shaming them.
Firt of the standard is 3mph into a flat barrier not 5 mph into a pole or an offset barrier[one on an angle], these are not realistic situations. 5mph is pretty fast to be tooling around a parking lot and even faster to be backing up and quite frankly if you back into a pole at 5mph you deserve it.
It is groups like this and my personal favorite, consumer's union(publishers of Consumer Reports Magazine) that annoy me. they tell you that the Bronco II is the most rollover prone vehicle in America, Ford loses sales, goes back to the drawing board and designs the Explorer and or course there going to roll test it. So they find that it is just a top heavy as the BroncoII. They opt to drop the tire pressure to a hideously low 26 pounds (or was it 24) Then tires start blowing out and people get killed.
