Cars used to be built as rigid as possible to withstand collisions. Today, though, cars are designed to have "crumple zones" that collapse upon impact. What is the advantage of this new design?

A crumple zone allows the moment of impact to be extended, thereby reducing the amount of energy that you, as a passenger, will feel.

Crumple Zone Design

During an accident, crumple zones collapse. This increases the impact time by providing extra time for crumpling. The impact of force is highly reduced and saves the passengers from severe injuries.

"Crumple zones" as they are called, are areas of a car designed to collapse in a predictable manner and thus safeguard vehicle occupants from as much harm as possible (such as the engine being shoved into the front seat, which was a major problem in pre-1980's automobiles), in the event of most head-on and rear-end collisions. This does very little to reduce "deceleration strain" on the human body. Passenger restraints and airbags do that.
"Crumple zones" are in the front and rear of the vehicle.
All new cars have them as well as most cars built from about the mid-80's until the early nineties.

The advantges are two:
* The energy absorbing "crumple" limits
the acelleration to which the passengers are exposed,
thus limiting injuries.
* The extra damage to the autos supports a thriving
'body shop` industry employing the otherwise
unemployable.
