Crumple zones
Crumple zones are designed areas in a vehicle that are made to deform and absorb energy during a collision. Located primarily at the front and rear of the car, these zones help to slow down the impact by spreading out the force, protecting the occupants inside. Instead of transferring all the crash energy directly to passengers, crumple zones gradually crush, reducing the severity of injury. This engineering feature enhances safety by mitigating the effects of collisions, making modern vehicles safer for drivers and passengers.
