The front - end structure crumpled in a way that spared the occupant compartment significant intrusion and preserved survival space for the driver.

Crumpled structure in front of the occupant compartment indicates where the crash energy was absorbed.

In the event of a crash, extremely robust load - path structures, precisely defined deformation zones and an extremely strong passenger compartment are on hand to keep the impact energy away from the car's occupants and ensure maximum protection for all those on board.

Typically, front - end structures are designed to crush and absorb crash energy, allowing occupant compartments to slow more gradually, ideally with little or no intrusion into drivers» survival space.

During the crash, welds within the B - pillar separated and the inner portion of the pillar intruded excessively into the occupant compartment, resulting in a rating of Poor for the structure.

The structure of the older Elantra allowed a lot of intrusion into the occupant compartment, and driver dummy injury measures indicated that rib fractures, internal organ injuries, and a broken left leg would be possible in a real - world crash.

In addition, other body reinforcements work in tandem with the strengthened body structure to better maintain the occupant compartment volume during frontal collisions.

«If a vehicle's front - end structure absorbs and manages the crash energy so the occupant compartment remains largely intact, with little or no intrusion into the driver's space, then the dummy's movement can be controlled, and injury measures are likely to be low.

Its rigid safety - cage structure is designed to protect occupants in an impact in any direction by controlled deformation, directing energy around and underneath the passenger compartment.

When a crash involves these structures, the occupant compartment is protected from intrusion, and front airbags and safety belts can effectively restrain and protect people inside.

«The structure of the Camry did a reasonably good job of minimizing intrusion into the occupant compartment, and the curtain airbag prevented the dummies» heads from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier.

By creating specifically engineered pathways that help distribute these frontal impact forces through a greater percentage of the vehicle's total structure, ACE can more effectively route them around and away from the passenger compartment to help limit cabin deformation and further improve occupant protection.

In one example of poor structure, the front pillar of the Nissan Rogue's door frame was pushed far inside the occupant compartment and after the crash was almost touching the driver seat.

Extensive intrusion into the lower occupant compartment limited the driver's survival space and resulted in a poor rating for structure and for leg / foot protection.

«Structure is the key to providing good protection in a frontal crash because if the occupant compartment buckles or crumples, the safety belts and airbags can not do a good job of protecting the people inside.

«If a car's front - end structure absorbs and manages the crash energy so the occupant compartment remains largely intact, with little or no intrusion into the driver's space, then the dummy's movement is likely to be controlled, and injury measures are likely to be low.
