It's like driving your car into a concrete wall!

Now honestly, how often is that likely to happen?
When was the last time you drove your car into a brick wall at speed?

Sure, you can run off the road and hit a big oak tree I guess.

But most serious car crashes are likely going to be involving hitting another vehicle that is going to take some of the impact energy and crumple itself, lessening the impact damage to your own car.

Safety crash tests only show you the worst case scenario.
the idea of the test is for a offset 40 mph crash with another car..
