Modern cars are energy-absorbers in case of an accident. Basically both ends will absorb as much energy as possible by deforming in a crash situation. Better the car than the body inside hé?
Metal absorbs more energy than plastic in deformation. But yes, it is all about the design.

Back to topic, I spent yesterday in the rain tramping around a wrecker's yard looking for a tool kit. What a depressing place.
