My friend was biking across a parking lot exit and got slammed by a car, t-boning her. She faceplanted into the hood, really really bad. A while later, she saw the same car and they had not fixed the hood, and she could see the crumple of where her face slammed into it. Given that the metal of the hood deformed to her face, that’s a decent amount of impact energy. I would wager her outcome would’ve been even more gruesome had she carried that energy into a rigid, stainless steel hood.
