Volvo has a mysterious club group of car owners in China, and the owners who can enter this group have a frightening accident experience. Recently, with the addition of a Volvo owner, this mysterious group of car owners has also been exposed online for the first time.

The group, called the Volvo Miracle of Life Club, has 60 members so far, one of whom is a customer service worker, so there may be as many as 59 car owners in the group. The car owners who entered the group were all Chinese consumers who survived major traffic accidents.

The group has also been confirmed for the first time because a screenshot of information related to the group was recently exposed online by a Volvo owner.

New Volvo owners said they had an accident driving a XC90 on Sept. 23 this year. According to the owner's description, his XC90 was driving normally on the he'an highway from north to south and was rear-ended by a large truck behind XC90, which crashed into a heavy tractor and a car in front of him, resulting in a serious rear-end collision of four vehicles on the highway. In the accident, the XC90 vehicle he was driving has been completely scrapped.

The owner also said that he was in a coma in the car during the accident and woke up to find minor damage. Fortunately, there were no other occupants in the car.

It can be seen from the pictures of the accident vehicle provided by the owner that the XC90, which was rear-ended by a large truck, has fully reached the scrapping standard. Under the high-speed impact on the right side of the rear, there has been a large area of sunken deformation, and the right side of the whole vehicle has changed beyond recognition. The owner also mentioned that XC90 was hit against the front heavy tractor in the accident, so it can be seen that the top of the front of the XC90 was also seriously damaged.

As the car owner survived the accident, he was finally qualified to join the above-mentioned club group. It is reported that to join the group, you have to meet a number of conditions: first, you must be a Volvo owner; second, you must have experienced a life-and-death accident; and third, those who survive and choose to buy Volvo cars again after one experience can join the club.

The Volvo Wonder of Life Club is not formed by car owners, but the official organization of the Volvo brand. China's Volvo Life Miracle Club was officially established on November 21, 2012, with members of Chinese consumers who survived major traffic accidents, according to official sources. Globally, the Volvo Miracle of Life Club was first founded at the New York Motor Show in 1990 and now has about 1500 members. The team examines whether the survivor's accident is indeed life-threatening, and if the accident is confirmed, the survivor will be officially invited to become a member of the Life Miracle Club.

From the number of club groups, we can also see the particularity of this group. Some netizens said, "this group is not what you want to enter, the threshold is too high."

Of course, a similar way of selection can also be called "survivor bias". Survivor bias means that when the access to information comes only from survivors, this information may deviate from the actual situation. No survivors have been able to speak, people only see the results produced by some kind of screening, but are not aware of the screening process, so they ignore the key information that has been filtered out.

The degree of casualties in traffic accidents is affected by many uncertain factors. For car owners who survive major traffic accidents, in addition to being protected by vehicles, luck may be more important, that is, the blessing of God.
