How so? Both the H2 and the Ram did their job - absorb the brunt of the
impact by crumpling, and not allowing the passenger compartment to be
compromised. If anything the Ram driver probably had it worse, because
the chassis doesn't "crumple" like it would have on that H2 (and on
newer Rams).
In a collision, *the vehicle should be doing this*. If the vehicle
doesn't give, you're going to absorb more energy with your body. And
that's gonna hurt. The H2 driver probably walked away, and right over
to the dealership to buy a new one. I know I'd be loyal to a vehicle
that gave its own life to let me walk away from the crash.
