Im only going to buy Chinese goods from now on!


This gentleman in Henan province, China, had a slight accident with a Dongfeng truck (we talked about these massive road hogs here) Mr. Wang happened to be on the 385 national highway when he found himself tailing a truck, actually, it seems like he was actually tailgating the truck, unfortunatly for whatever reasons, he crashed into the back of the truck, except not a single one of the Mercedes 8 air bags were activated. Mr. Wang towed the wrecked Merc to the banks of the Yellow River

Miraculously,  Mr. Wang was not hurt from the looks of the photos, despite the car looking rather demolished. Mr. Wang has said (in his yellow banner) that from now on he will only buy domestically made Chinese goods, possibly including cars.

    Look on any salvage site – there’s tons of cars with worse damage than this with airbags still intact. You have to set them off! If the sensors don’t trigger they don’t go off. The front bumper is still fine. The LAST thing you want is to be hit from the top/side/back and the FRONT airbags to go off.

    Stupid Chinese..

    The man on the picture said:He cannot trust any foreign cars anymore.He will only buy chinese cars and chinese goods from now on!Because the airbags didn’t open as they are supposed to.
    I’m a chinese.But I think it’s stupid to call all the chinese stupid.It’s stupid to think other people are stupid!

    from the wreckcage, its sure that the BENZ S-class, is speeding at very high speed.

    the benefit of Germany cars is : the car wrecked, but the human is OK.

    try this at chinese cars with less safety in design, car wrecked but the passenger also wrecked.

    it just simply obey the chinese law : ONE-hit, TWO-purposes (efficient).
