If you crash headfirst while in a car on a 2-laner:
-There is only microseconds to react.
-The impact speeds will be about 120mph
-Thin vehicles will crumple guarenteeing severe injury.

If you crash headfirst into while in a plane:
-There is often minutes for the pilot to glide-slope to a clearing and/or fly on one engine.
-The impact speed will usually be the same 120mph, but the intersection angles will be 1-10 degrees, not 90.
-You'll be surrounded by a huge vehicle.
