Other Factors to Consider: Car's Crumple Zones: Modern cars are designed with crumple zones that help absorb and redistribute the impact. This design can help reduce the intensity of the force felt by occupants, but a 1 MN force is extremely high, and severe injuries are likely regardless. Child Seats and Booster Seats: If any of the passengers are children, the type and posiƟoning of child restraints could play a crucial role in the severity of injuries. If the passengers are in child seats or booster seats, the types of injuries are higher astronomically because even as strong and as safe as the car seats and booster seats are made today, we are still talking about injuries to a child who still has growth plates that are active, and the damage here is oftentimes damage that cannot be reversed. Secondary Collisions: AŌer the iniƟal impact, the vehicle could be redirected, leading to secondary collisions with other vehicles, objects, or rollovers. Given the magnitude of the force described, it's essenƟal to note that the outcomes would likely be devastaƟng, and immediate medical aƩenƟon would be required for all occupants. In many cases, the consequences of such a high-force impact could unfortunately be fatal.
