Disingenuous, that's a crumple zone in action. That collision was relatively low-speed from the looks of it, but at even moderate-low velocities seat belts (which definitely mitigate injuries) still cause pretty nasty collarbone fractures and abdominal bruising. Using crumple zones to spread an otherwise near-instantaneous deceleration out over a 1/50th or 1/100th of a second turns "severe but probably survivable" into "walk away with little more than freezer burn from airbags".

It sucks to have totaled a car because you followed too closely, but I'd take that kind of car any day over the battle wagons of yore that survived intact but needed your brain matter hosed out prior to resale.

never mind that the Mercedes will still have a higher shop bill for the scratched rear bumper than getting a "new" beater car.

just because the Mercedes didn't total itself out over a fender bender doesn't mean it's poorly designed. I'm sure they've designed it to crumple at speeds that matter.

+1, although id assume the dominate method of heat exchange in that setup would be radiative, no?

I love how pranking has just turned into being an obnoxious cunt these days. Those fucking idiots that go into a grocery store and "slip" to smash gallons of milk need to be knocked the fuck out like that.
