A crash zone in a car refers to the areas designed to absorb and dissipate energy during a collision, helping to protect occupants. These zones are typically located at the front and rear of the vehicle and are engineered to crumple in a controlled manner, reducing the force transferred to the cabin. This design enhances passenger safety by minimizing injury risk during an accident.
A car absorbs the energy and force of a crash in the crumple zone.
Crumple zone
The duration of Crash Zone is 1800.0 seconds.
for the case of the side of the car: if the side doors are crumple then the people in the car would be crash because there is not much space for the crumble zone to absord the force and redistribute. also, if the roof of the car is crumple, then when the car collapses , people in the car will be crash. we want the collision force to be far away from the passengers , and the way that the crumble zone work is when the car hit something, the crumble zone reduces the initial force of the crash, and they redistribute the force before it reaches the vehicle's occupants. hope this kind like give you the idea,

The crumple zone crumples, absorbing some of the energy from the impact so that all of that energy doesn't crumple the passengers.
Crash zones (sometimes called crumple zones) of a car work by absorbing the energy of the crash gradually, reducing the impulse (spike in stopping forces) on the driver. Crash zones are built to deliberately bend and crumple the impacted area of the car. The bending and crumpling of the metal slows the car more gradually. The driver feels less intense forces as he is restrained by his seat belt and air bag. (Crash zones do little to help a driver that is not wearing his seat belt, by the way). When designing a crash zone, it is important that the bending and crumpling does not crush the driver or other occupants of the car. Normally a solid safety cage is put around the passenger compartment, and the crash zone is built outside the safety cage. Another consideration is that the crash zone should not allow parts like the steering column to be pushed into the safety cage (which is why steering columns often collapse in a crash too).
To manufacture a crumple zone in a open wheel race car we create an aluminum box riveted together. The key is that the rivets will fail in a controlled manner absorbing the energy of the crash. In a road car you start by making the passenger compartment hugely strong. Then make the crumple zone weaker in a very careful way so that as it progressively collapses it absorbs the energy of the crash.
You can unintentionally crash your car by driving recklessly. You can intentionally crash your car by driving into large objects.
