Default Video: Mercedes Benz SLS Crash-test

Video

Later, an inverted SLS AMG is tested to demonstrate the emergency opening of the gullwing doors in the event that the car comes to rest on its shiny lid post-accident. Besides surviving the two-foot drop onto its roof remarkably intact, the car's doors pop open when triggered and are easily removed. The pop-open doors are presumably a feature that would be activated automatically in the event of a real crash to allow the occupants to escape.

Now thats an interesting feature. I guess its a given when you have those type of doors.
