Anyone know where to find information on tC related fatalities?

 

what might you want that kind of information for?

 

oh, is it classified?

 

I think he is just wondering why you would want to know about people dying in our cars? Are you looking for like what type of crash are you most likely to die in, in a tC? etc?

 

^lol just me being sarcastic....I was wondering out of the tC fatalities, which are the most prevalent?: rollovers, rear ends, t-bones, ejections, etc...I searched the net for model specific fatality stats, but nothing. They gotta have that info somewhere...

 

Haven't seen anything personally, I'd have to bet the number one reason would be good old fashioned stupidity though

 

Dont know where you will find that in one place.

However, the car does great in rollovers and most collisions. It has one of the 9 stiffest roof structures on the market (1 of 9 that would pass the potential new roof strength requirement by the fed).

I was at the body shop the other day getting a quote (hit part of a truck tire on the highway late one night and destroyed my front bumper) and he mentioned they had had a few tC's in and they had all survived strong impacts very well. Ironically, one was hail damaged and every panel, even the doors were full of large hail dents, but the glass roof never cracked

But, it handles a crash very well.

 

WOW! According to Dept Trans, in Clallam County WA from 1994-2007 vehicle fatalities have gone up 200%! The population has only gone up 9,000 people from 1994. That's sad...anyways, I only know of one tC related fatality by where I live.

 

tc's are not made for flying, although you may be able to get liftoff with enough mods. this is responsible for the most fatalities.

dude holy crap!!! look at picture #12

 

trust me, the car is strong, it has a 4 outta 5 crash test rating in every catagory, it also has an additional cross member because of our glass roof. and roof itself is strong enough to support 1.5 times the cars weight, it is very sturdy.

 

I hit a tree sideways at 30 and just had a few cuts from the broken glass. No part of the car traveled into the passenger compartment, the outer door skin absorbed ALL the impact.

 

where can i get these rims? they have an amazing offset i want them....

 

Daytons! lmao

 

^^hahahaha

 

Which is why I am curious as to what types of crashes have caused fatalities in the tC...

The one fatality I know of here, was an elderly woman I THINK had a stroke and drove off an embankment, the vehicle ending upside down but it was unclear if she died from the stroke or crash.

 

they would have to be really serious, i was doing something stupid like going 100 mph and losing control and wrapping it around a tree, while not wearing your seatbelt and so on.

 

Actually it can withstand more than 1.5 times, which is the current standard. According to the federal proposed standard (and the info I have read) the new proposed fed standard is 2.5 times, which about 75 % of the cars can handle. An advocacy group wants that raised to 4 times the vehicles weight. There are 8 cars that can withstand that much, the tC being one at 4.6 times its own weight.

nj kid missed his medicine and pass out resulting in his tc driving into oncoming traffic he bounds off a oil truck and set the whole truck up killing the truck driver , the tc came to rest out of the range of the explosion the driver and passenger survived
