Why Are Cars Designed to Crumple in the Front During Collisions?
Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the energy of a collision, reducing the force on the cabin and protecting occupants. By collapsing in a controlled way, they extend the impact time, lowering injury risk. While this can mean more visible damage to the vehicle, crumple zones—along with airbags, seat belts, and safety cages—are essential for saving lives in modern cars.
