There is a mismatch between what is set as an INPUT and what you are printing to the serial port.
I'm not sure if there is a difference in the default pinModes between the Uno and Mega, but that could also contribute to your problem.
const int crashPin1 = A0;
void setup() {
pinMode(A0, INPUT); // not A1 as in previously posted code
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(analogRead(A0));
}
