crumple zones
These exist at the front and rear of the vehicle to help absorb the impact of a collision. These pre-stressed areas in the fender, hood, frame and related body components are designed to deform in a predetermined manner during collision. Their purpose is to help lessen the force the impact transfers to the passenger compartment. In essence, the crumple zone of a vehicle is sacrificed to help protect the occupants.
