Matt writes [a lot of great points, and...] "Today's cars crumple, much like an accordian, sort of mimicking a 'cushion' made of steel, if you will, so that the occupants don't come to such a sudden stop in an impact."
This works both ways. The "other" vehicle you crash into with your Power Wagon has a nice accordian effect, so it absorbs the impact for the driver of the Power Wagon too (who unfortunately now is lying on the TOP of that Volvo, since there are no seat belts in the Power Wagon!).
