There's a video of the smart running into a concrete barrier, and then the guy is like "oh look how well built the smart is! the passenger door still opens!". Everyone would have died in that car.

ill make nice and agree with supmet on this. deceleration plays havoc with internal organs of the body and head. while the cage of the smart might keep the interior of the car intact, the deceleration would have to be made worse by lack of much in the way of a crumple zone.
