Did wind cause the accident? Wasn’t aware Yugo were especially vulnerable, at least more so than most light cars.
For what it’s worth, I’m not following why they are using Yugo as a brand, other than immediate name recognition; even though it largely carries negative connotation. Since prototype is still 2 years out, not sure this project should be taken seriously yet.
I’m not affected by heights much at all, but there is something about being able to see straight down below one’s feet that gets my attention. Walking across the Royal Gorge Bridge which has wooden plank deck and seeing 1,000 feet down through the cracks is something else. Also walking onto a glass floor over 500 feet in the air. It’s just so unnatural even if the analytical rational mind says it’s plenty strong.
Yep, stay off the center metal gratings, and you're okay.
Living in the U.P. in the 70's and 80's, I've probably traveled over that bridge more than 100 times.
What goes around comes around. Whereas the EPA regulations are based on the footprint i.e. wheelbase and track, build vehicles like we did 100 years ago, where the WB and track were external to the cabin. The EPA classification based on the WB and tracks preserved, while keeping overall weight down by not enclosing the whole footprint with steel.
