Effects of a rear-end collision edit
I moved this paragraph from the main article to here:
In rear-ends, mechanical damage is equally shared by the two vehicles if they have identical plasticity and mass. Injuries to the occupants are usually much worse for the impacted vehicle, because occupants of the following vehicle often anticipate the imminent impact and take automatic measures.
Here's why:
- First sentence: "plasticity" is not an issue here, you just can't talk about equally sharing mechanical damage. When a bonnet hits a trunk, the mechanical damage is inherently different.
- As for the second sentence, maybe it's true but the reason offered doesn't take into account that the front of the following vehicle is made up of an engine and other "heavy" stuff that shields its occupants.
I don't think it's appropriate to keep this information without references.
