I had never heard of crash attenuators before, but they seem really impressive! This one was the "SCI smart cushion" model. According to the manual[1] it can reduce the acceleration from a collision at 100 km/h (63 mph) to less than 10G, so even a direct frontal collision at highway speed would be survivable[1]. That's pretty amazing.
