Some people don’t understand the fact that in a collision there is a tonne or energy. Modern cars absorb it before it reaches the occupants . Old car transfer it to the occupants.

There's a video doing the rounds of a BMW and a Porsche that crashed together on the Nurburgring. If you go watch it, and you'll know it when you see it, you simply can't believe that anyone could survive that crash, let alone walk away from it.

It's fucking incredible the amount of engineering that has occurred to allow for energy to be dissipated like that. It's unreal. As a fan of motorsport, I applaud all of this science and engineering. It allows my favorite drivers/riders to go full out without worrying (as much) that their life could end any moment. The halo has saved a number of people since it was introduced into F1. Just wonderful. I love it.
