How a car's design helps make it safer in a crash

We travel to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Virginia to see a Subaru slam into a barrier and learn what makes it safe for the driver

I did 2 years in auto collision repair and had a coworker try to tell me that a car I'd supposed to be super sturdy and not crumple at all then I told him that good cars are ment to crumple in certain areas to absorb the forces of the crash and he said that was wrong he also tried telling me if you're about to hit a 1200 pound moose you should speed up to make it go over the roof when in reality it would crush your roof and kill you.

we are all just happy you help make it safer for anyone that need to breach a prison wall, so they can use an electric explosive and the vehicle impacting the wall to focus the shock wave into the wall they are safely trying to breach, all the timing is automatic upon impact just brick on the accelerator and have the vehicle over 40 so it good that most cars are automatic now so its even easier to breach a high security wall, cheers

Nobody ever shows a head on collision.

Where is a list of what cars are crumple zone and what cars are not?

[beaniekei]

Has anybody ever been injured or died inside a car after a crash while the car is perfectly fine or minimal damage? Until I find that proof, crumple zone appears to me as an excuse to go cheap on cars.

Why F1 cars not designed to crumple? Driver surrounded by rigid cage debunks crumple theory lol. 😅

Truth is, it's just cheaper.. Period
