Videos of Lego Technic CRASHES

[DLuders]

I would imagine that many Lego pieces were "lost" in the grass after that carnage! I fixed the post above. Thanks for sharing your video -- I watched it in full-screen, High-Definition on

for maximum effect.

I hope one day I can shoot videos like that with a DSLR and process them in Adobe Premiere with Twixtor - that would allow slow-motion in high resolution and good quality, unlike in this video.

For the second video I would say 'collateral damage'. It seems like they were all still working, but the operators had to run to not lose the remote.

I haven't got any good words for the first video though. You're really an idiot when you just smash your lego to bits just to film it.

you know you can rebuild your lego sets when they break apart right?

Where is this field?, I need extra cheap pieces... .

Some really nice (well, they used to be) MOCs in there. Especially the tan one was very striking.

To capture it for posterity here on this thread, Hedgie posted his

of "4 lego sets [which] are put to the test and are driven into a wall to test how they perform in a crash. The results are recorded in slow motion for your enjoyment and for proper scientific analysis on how a lego car behaves in a crash...." The 8674 Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8 set (built with Lego Technic pieces) did the best:

The humanity! I won't even let my LEGO models rest on their own weight. I put them on little stands when I'm not working on them. These kids crashing their LEGO should just give them to me. :)

In the trial truck video, you can see just how poorly these models are assembled. I'd think that a studless model would stay together better than that.

I wonder which one of Paul Boratko's Lego Technic MOCs would perform the best in a crash test?

It pains me to see the technic liftarms being bent when crashed into the wall .

Some more crashes and skeleton kicks

@ Parda: I like how you used your extensive collection of Lego Technic Figures as "crash test dummies" in the video! The "wacky racer" that was constructed with four wheels in a vertical frame seemed to survive the plunge the best!

Thanks!! That one with four wheels was a creation from Blastem, the other cars or wheeled figs were from Sheepo and mine :)
