Shocking: it's the frontal impact of a camper at 90 km / h

Large, comfortable and equipped with powerful engines, the camping car They are the dream of many travelers who love the road and do not have to look for accommodation in each destination. However, they can also be dangerous.

Given the growth of this type of vehicle in Sweden, the transport administration of Sweden has two crash tests to determine what happens when they impact at high speed. More precisely at 90 km / h.

The images impress. In both cases, it has been established that the frontal deformation zone it was insufficient, so that the driver and the pbadenger have a good chance of wounds serious or even dead.

The risk also extends to pbadengers later. The crash test was carried out against a frontal barrier of the same weight.

In many European countries, this type of vehicle is going through a period of expansion. This is the case of Swedenwhere according to the transport administration since 2014 increased by 50% his presence on the roads. At that time six people died in accidents, which in most cases were on the front.

Another of the serious problems of these vehicles is the amount of objects that they carry to the interior. If they are loose, after a shock, they become projectiles that multiply their weight and whose impact on a human can be fatal.

Spain is another country where motorhomes they are in full swing. Last April, for the first time, it sold over a thousand, or 554 more than in April 2018, according to the Spanish Association of Industry and Commerce. caravanning
