My father was in a horrific crash in 84. He was in a Honda Accord. I dont know if they just started doing the tire chocking and flattening, but they defintely didnt do it back then, in fact, the department that cut my dad out didnt even unplug the battery. They just pulled out the jaws, and opened the side of the car. Course, dad was in a ball under the passanger dash, that might have had something to do with it. It makes sense they would...
I am stoked they are training departments on new models of cars. Think of that Stang as a soldier, died for the future of Stang drivers.

As for the wheel chocking and flattening, its been going on for years at the dept's I've run at. But then again some dept's aren't as well trained as others. We have one around here (I won't mention the name) that did not chock a car that had stop after an accident up an incline. Well... it rolled
and believe me word of that mishap spread very quickly!Glad to hear your father was alright Jessica. There are just so many accidents on the road nowadays that its scary!

I understand and applaud the purpose behind it, but still, in the immortal words of Indiana Jones' father...
"It breaks the heart."

I am sure it is.
Many times carmakers donate non-saleable vehicles to highschool autoshops and things of this nature. At least the car is put to some kind of learning purpose before it is destroyed.

Another train of thought here , seeing that a lot of Insurance companys will NOT cover a Mustang GT maybe testing like this will help them open a bit ? a high risk sports car my foot ! look at all the other brands out there getting totaled off where as the Mustang has not really been out that long.
