This seems dangerous. Where's the crumple zone?
is this safe? modern cars are designed to absorb impact and not transfer it to passengers. this sounds like it is a rigid metal car like a vw beetle
Cars are supposed to crumple when you crash them. This looks horribly dangerous.
I'd guess it has to do with crumple zones and safety.
Consider it like a crumple zone in a car.
As opposed to slamming into a barrier?
If it's part of the structure, what happens when you have a crash?
One big difference is the car has a crumple zone to absorb some impact, but the brick wall does not.
Forget it. The thing has no crumple zone.
I don't know why you got downvoted. It the exact same thought I had when I saw the comparison about how one door dented and the other didn't. A car that crumples will cushion the sudden stop in case of a crash.
