I may of seen this video last year, it's a good one though.

They did not go to much into leg crush, looked worriesome to me.

The only way around internal organ damage from massive deceleration is to avoid it in the first place with more crush zone, right?

Perhaps if needle injectors just prior to impact changed the character of your blood to a jello or semi frozen state the internal organs would not be ripped out of you. Wild idea, but somewhere somebody is working on it I bet.


EDIT:

Legs are the price you pay for fuel economy.

A crash test at 70 mph into a concrete wall really is a moot point. Yes, the cage survived, but you would easily rip your aorta at those speeds with a 70 mph to 0 deceleration. You would not survive. But you might look nicer in your casket.
