Crash-predicting car braces itself for impact

Exterior air bags that inflate to slow impact. Instead of more weight to the car. Better yet, all plastic cars with rollcages. The heavier you get the more inertia you have to overcome. This researching is getting ridiculous. Next up a completely wrapped in iron car weighing in at over 17,000 lbs. That will stop all but the other cars wrapped in iron. So then all cars wrapped in etc.etc. And a new steel bar here and putone that a computer activates over there. Oh and how about.

I must be missing something important... why not just have the bar in place all the time...?

the metal is crushing your skull without that, with 10 cm, you would have a *chance* at living.

It's a great design.

something going through your arm 10cm is enough to make you die of blood loss

very good point...maybe the momentum of the bar helps?
