Exactly. It’s that sudden deceleration that your internal organs don’t care
for, resulting in things like torn aortas, stuff like that.
You can’t cheat physics.

I recall being at a stealer, might have been the local one, a few years
back and they had a Smartcar "chassis" body sitting there raw and some
propaganda about how safe it was due to the design of it all, Now that
might be true, it would be survivable event as far as body intrusion,
but an F15
Watch the entire video - the passenger compartment stays intact, but , just
like parachuting, it's the sudden stop that will kill you, even if you
aren't crushed in a pile of metal. I wonder how an S class does at 70 into
concrete?

Modern vehicles are designed to absorb the energy of a crash in order to
protect the occupants. The Smart Car has no crush space which cannot be
good news in a crash. They were like many other vehicles - cute but I
wouldn't want one.

Yes, I seem to recall some promotional stuff showing the cage with a larger
vehicle on top or something significantly larger/heavier stacked on top. I
still wouldn’t want to be in one in a collision.

You might survive, but you would get well beaten. I remember a video
online where they crash tested them, and the cage did not crush but the
whole car bounced around like a basket ball when it hit.

They are quite peppy with a harsh ride and hardly any interior space other
than the two front bucket seats. Fuel economy was in the high 20s but the
Smart diesel sold in Canada would get 50mpg.
