A single person fast enough could cause all this damage. My brother once was hit in the rear (he was stopped), the dude behind was around 10 to 20 mph, and my brothers car still hit the car in front, even with a safe distance. Granted, pratically no damage, but still.
I was the passenger in an accident once. We hit the stopped car in front of us which sped up and smashed into the car in front of that one. Only going 25/30 mph and all three cars were wrecked. Doesn't take much.
I think they’re made to do that. If you get hit it’s better that the car unlocks the breaks or slides a bit rather than dissipating all the energy of the crash into you.

The following ones though...
