Abstract

A toy vehicle crash simulating playset includes a crash simulator having a support base to which a pair of toy vehicles are pivotally secured in a spaced apart arrangement. Each toy vehicle is pivotally secured at the outer portion thereof and a spring mechanism urges the toy vehicles toward pivotal motion away from the base. A releasable latch mechanism is operative upon each toy vehicle which releases upon impact permitting abrupt high energy pivotal motion thereof. A third toy vehicle is receivable between the two spring-loaded toy vehicles and interacts therewith when impacted to also cause the release of the latching mechanisms.
