What’s the safest car accident? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explain the physics of high impact collisions, kinetic energy, and how to keep yourself safe in a car wreck. We dive into transferring kinetic energy and the physics of a moving vehicle. What is a crumple zone and how can they save your life? Learn about the physics of how seatbeats save you and why wearing them even when the car is going slow is still important. Can a long car crash actually be better? We discuss the point of airbags, internal damage the body might endure, and absorbing kinetic energy. We take a look at surviving high impact collisions… it’s not a miracle, it’s physics!
