This is just because the NHTSA has put such strict safety regulations down for cars in America that we don&#8217;t really have to worry about it anymore. But just imagine if that car was available thirty or fourty years ago. They are just a moving death trap. Most cars today have a crumple zone in the front and rear of the car but the main body is a rigid structure, like a steel cage. The crumple zone decreases the force of the impact by extending the collision. Imagine the crumple zones as a soft foam. We would much rather fall on to soft foam than a concrete floor because the foam extends the time of impact, making it much less painful. But the engineers of this car forgot that if you make the whole car a crumple zone, the passengers will crumple as well. So the next time we complain about paying federal taxes, just think, this might have been your car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/0ab8wn8hOEEgJXY-UiAHtVZQT7E\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/0ab8wn8hOEEgJXY-UiAHtVZQT7E\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/0ab8wn8hOEEgJXY-UiAHtVZQT7E\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/0ab8wn8hOEEgJXY-UiAHtVZQT7E\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now when we are looking to buy a car, not all of us really care about the &#8220;safety&#8221; of the car as long as it looks good.
