Bumpers are usually the first part of a car that connects in a collision. They absorb most of the impact. They are made to protect other parts of the vehicle, not the driver or passengers.

Velcro to magnetic bumpers collision is this an inelastic or elastic?

The collision is elastic because energy will be conserved. The materials don't react with each other (Velcro does not stick to magnets and magnets do not stick/repel velcro) so its no different than two balls hitting each other. If it was velcro to velcro, and the carts stuck together at the collision, this would be considered an inelastic collision because a lot of Kinetic Energy would be lost. Regardless of the collision, momentum is always conserved.
