The point of crash-worthiness isn't to see how well the vehicle survives the collision, it's to give the HUMANS inside the best possible chance of survival. As the auto industry has learned by killing several million people, the best way to protect the occupants in a crash is to build in 'crush zones' designed to break, absorb and spread out the impact as much as possible. A vehicle with an overly stiff frame doesn't do this. |
