Crumple zones are sections of the car designed to fold easily under pressure. This means that the damage done to the car will actually increase quite a lot.
The good news is that the damage as a result of a crash is dramatically reduced for both the passengers in the car and the object the car hits.
The design is to prioritise life over property.
crumple zones are areas on a car's body that have been designed to collapse in the event of a collision. They are useful in a collision to absorb some of the energy which makes the collision feel less severe to the occupants of the car and reduce the damage they sustain as a result of the collision.
yes, but crumple zones will reduce injury :)
By applying the strategy
they reduce the frequency of crashes hope this helps:)
crumple zones are not different materials, they are strategically placed indentions in the body panels. these indentions collapse on inpact instead of becoming a projectile into the passenger compartment.
U reduce hurricane damage by being prepared
they reduce the frequency of crashes hope this helps:)

He looked at her. And than she crashes her car into another!
Motor vehicle crashes cost American taxpayers an estimated $230 billion annually, which includes expenses related to medical care, property damage, lost productivity, and emergency response services. This financial burden underscores the importance of promoting road safety measures to reduce the impact of crashes on society.
A crumple zone is an area of the car specifically designed to fold up like an accordion upon impact. The action of bending the metal requires energy. As the metal crumples, it absorbs energy from the impact. This means that as more of the car crumples, more energy is absorbed by the car and not you. The less energy you absorb, the less likely serious energy will occur. The passenger compartment on the vehicle is designed to crumple either around passengers or not at all, maximizing the crumple zones of the car.
