Seems like there'd be a big difference between a train with a thousand tons of carriages pushing it along (ie. Not Going To Stop) and a car that will stop, necessitating a crumple zone to drag that stop over the longest possible period.
- bobthepanda 4y agoIf you throw a steel box of eggs at the wall, the box will probably be fine, but not the eggs.
- Panzer04 4y agoRight - but in this case the steel box is 1000 ton and going straight through the wall, so it's not going to be stopping - in this case you want the steel box to protect the eggs, rather than splattering them by using a cardboard box (carrying on the analogy)
