Examples of crumple zone

• Improvements to vehicle design and improved car systems, including the pedestrian 'crumple zone' at the front of a car, are positive moves which need to be encouraged.

• Classic cars often lack what are now considered basic safety features, such as seat belts, crumple zones or rollover protection.

• Sensors placed in the crumple zone just behind the front bumper would be able to send signals to an airbag's 'central control' to indicate the scale of any impact.

• The two key areas of misinformation and ignorance amongst among older people were about the safety benefits of airbags and vehicle design, including modern crumple zone structures.

• The evidence is that with bull bars the crumple zone, far from protecting the vehicle and passengers, actually increases the danger to them.

• They are not cushioned from it by the crumple zone.

• But even if they did, to destroy the crumple zone that absorbs the shock adds to their own dangers.

• Often, the very fitment of bull bars markedly reduces the safety design of the vehicle; that is, the crumple zone.

• The steering system is mounted behind the front axle - behind and protected by, the front crumple zone.

• Constructed from welded steel armor, it absorbs and deflects energy from a blast, acting as a crumple zone.

• As a part of the vehicle's tridion cell and crash management system, the front crumple zone is maximized by the rear-mounted engine location.

• Many newer attenuators use crushable materials that create a crumple zone, absorbing energy.

• The crumple zone design of the locomotive is effective and prevents worse results.

• Swedish engineers at the company have said that transversely mounted engines allow for more crumple zone area in a head on collision.

• The result is a larger front crumple zone.
