My guess would be that they have a survey that says "75%"Of crashes happen at "x" mph,so thats what they test on.
They don't only crash at 35 mph. They crash cars at so many different speeds and so many different angles, it would make you dizzy.
Just because the only video on youtube is at 35 mph doesn't mean that is the only speed that they test at.

yeah, I seen a Volvo crash video that they crashed one of those suv's at like 80. You do usually seem to find the lower speed ones though. No explanation, I guess. I've noticed it too.
price, average crash speeds, clean up, maintanence of facitlities (broken feedback parts and the facitlitys themself), plus im sure the engineers can use the data from the low speed crash to determine the outcome of a higherspeed crash. that would be my guess.
35mph crash tests are for the bumpers. The bumpers must withstand an impact at that speed. It is then rated at that speed compared to the damage.
While we are on this subject, one of the safest US cars, as safe as a Volvo is??????
A Pontiac Fiero. Look it up.

Face meet steering wheel. Actually that Cutlass didn't do too bad considering its 1970s technology. It certainly did better than this Chinese crap..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5SRyG6UR2A
