Padded dashboards in cars are safer in an accident than non padded ones because an occupant hitting the dashboard has?

Padding slows the occupant hitting it down "slightly slower" that if the same occupant hit a non padded dash. (it reduces the G forces experienced, helping to prevent injury.) The padding acts (to a much lesser degree) like a parachute acts to slow a person falling from the sky. Also, a padded dash help to avoid the person hitting "sharp" parts of the dash. Consider jumping onto a "bed of nails" and then jumping on to the same bed of nails with a mattress over the top of it. Same effect.
