At least we know it has good crumple zones. That said, I think the trauma from going 120 to 0 that fast alone would be enough to kill someone, let alone the whole "crushed instantly" thing.

I watched that show "i shouldn't be alive" or whatever its called and that was on there. CRAZY!

now correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't that 120 mph crash be the same as two cars going 60mph hitting head on?
