Story carvspiano.ru
To prove how unpredictable car accidents are, Intouch insurance created a live 24/7 web broadcast. A grand piano was suspended from nine ropes above a car in a Moscow garage during seven days. Twice a day people could vote for an unpredictable real event resulting in one rope being cut. 
Philosophy To prove how unpredictable accidents are, a 350 KG grand piano was suspended from nine ropes above a car in a Moscow garage for seven days. Twice a day an unforeseen daily event could result into one rope being cut. For example: if the temperature in Moscow rose to +21C one rope would be cut. We kept the audience intrigued, waiting for the next rope to be cut-or not using a live broadcast 24/7 on carvspiano.ru 
Problem Russian drivers are real optimists. They believe car accidents can be avoided by just by driving safely. But in reality accidents are completely unpredictable. Intouch car insurance company wanted them to re-think this false impression using a real experiment aimed at engaging them to consider buying a ”no fault” car insurance.
