@smuckerst8355 It would be possible to make strong safety devices but the humans wouldn't still survice the g forces, so there's no really any point doing the airbags any stronger.

Smart is basically a rally car rollcage with nicer looks and a small engine. If you had proper rally rated seats, seatbealts, helmet and the hans device you could survice quite bad hits in that.

@niko5008 Yep, because the length of the bonnet doesn't change, and it sets maximum distance for the whole deceleration period. If this deceleration exceeds about 60g, it doesn't matter if you had airbags, crash helmet, HANS device and indestructable rollcage. Your brain smashing against the front of the internal surface of your skull above 60g is going to cause brain damage and kill you. You might look intact from the outside thanks to proper safety gear but the brain would be crushed and internal organs would be destroyed by the g-forces alone.
