I was amazed the way the drivers seat flipped the driver up into the collapsing roof (broken neck?).
Also note the way the windshield flies out of the '59 and the passenger compartment gets severely compromised. The passenger compartment of the '09 stays intact enough to provide decent protection for the occupants.
