Subject: Sequel to 200 Milliseconds of Your Life?


Has there been a sequel/update to the Saab video "200 Milliseconds of Your Life"? For those not familiar, Automobile magazine, December 1991, p. 25, reviewed this video as follows: "With good cause have film-festival prizes been heaped on the new video produced by Saab, '200 Milliseconds of Your Life'. It's even worth packing the popcorn and visiting the local dealership for a viewing, especially if you're researching a car purchase. It is perhaps the first intelligent, comprehensive explanation for laymen of what happens to a car and its passengers during a collision." It's dated now, so I'm wondering if a new version has been produced. With info on developments like offset collisions, side impact airbags, adaptive airbag speeds, the new whiplash seat, etc. Speaking of airbag speeds, I vaguely remember reading that U.S. airbags are on the very fast side (200 mph range?), meant for front collisions, while German/Mercedes (?) airbags are slower, meant for offsets and other situations, and therefore not as likely to kill you when they accidentally explode. Anyone know where Saab airbags fit in this speed range?
