Its interesting your showing this as I was looking at it the other day...
Now here's just a point for comparison
YouTube- Euro NCAP | Fiat Seicento | 2000 | Crash test
or my friends car....
YouTube- Euro NCAP | Rover 100 | 1997 | Crash test
All curtain airbags go through to the back...
I can vouch for saftey of them, I smashed into the back of someone at 40-50mph and only sustained minor injury from the airbag on my arm.
Front of the car was missing though.
See picture.
thats pretty good, is that smart advert true, where that ball comes and smahes the front of it and its ok?
YouTube- Smart Car Commercial
if thats not cgi then WOW, its worth getting one of them lol
I just saw an episode of Fifth Gear where they wrecked several cars and the Smart was one of them.
Smarts will take a huge beating and look pretty good afterwards, BUT the people in the car will be dead.

Was this near Ipswich? I remember when I was working on a site and saw a gorgeous blue GP involved in a crash, was really reassuring to see but it did make me sad.
in the crash, my rear bumper smashed open, and you can see inside there is a big metal bar running along the car, attached to two metal arms that crumpled with the impact, protecting the vital parts of the car, like the fuel tank and rear suspension etc so it was still drivable.
Ach, not good, and that is a fat arse, can't believe its got so little damage considering it went up your bonnet.
Still want to find out about the one near Ipswich tho, similar thing to you, coming towards a roundabout woman in an zafira slams brakes on, audi goes into her, guy in GP squashes audi... Audi did not look good (bent up in the middle) but the GP wasn't too bad
