There are two collisions in a crash. The first collision is when the vehicle strikes the object and the second when the unrestrained occupants strike the interior of the vehicle.
Yes, vehicles are designed with both plastic and elastic values to absorb energy forces in a manner that will reduce the direct forces that reach the vehicle occupants. The plastic materials are designed to absorb the initial impact of a collision, while the elastic materials are designed to absorb the remaining energy from the collision and dissipate it over a longer period of time. This two-step process helps to reduce the overall force that is transferred to the occupants of the vehicle.
No. "Experts have found it is usually the second collision that injures and kills people. When one car hits another car or object, this is the first collision. The second collision occurs when unbelted occupants are thrown into or around the car's interior or thrown from the vehicle. If an occupant is seat belted, there is no second collision" From http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/aia/cyberspokesman/99-07/safety2.htm
