Goofing around with FEA with a model of a 2" OD x .125" wall 6061-T6 aluminum tube with 50,000 lb slightly offset force gives this result. It doesn't really show you how it would collapse though. I'd mock up a piece, bolt it to a tree or something else that won't give and bump into with a beater truck
