small overlaps are a bitch. I've never seen a car come out of one and look okay.

It could have been potentially worse, if this car had enough horsepower to get up to speed.

The point isn't exactly to look OK, it's more about leaving the occupants unharmed. I'd rather have my car crumble into nothing and me survive uninjured than be critically or even lethally injured with my car mostly unharmed.

To be fair, asides from the door buckling it looks like the crash structure did it's job. The intrusion stopped at the firewall, and it doesn't look like the footwell was breached.

That actually seems right. The crash structure remained pretty well intact but the head slipped off the front airbag.

This is the exact argument I make when people refer to old school cars surviving accidents with very little damage due to them being "all steel!", what good is the car if you're paralyzed because it can't transfer any collision force.

Some cars slide off the barrier more than others. This one seem to have just stopped hard. Maybe high G force readings along with the head slip

Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.
