I have seen crash test with Smartcars. They FLY when hit. If the initial impact doesn’t kill you, then being flung about (possibly into another vehicle) will.
I've seen them crash, flip and slam on shows like cops'' and when the smoke clears the perps open the doors and run away.
Often the car looks like you could just flip it over and it would drive away.
That's the Chrysler Lee I. built!
