The weird thing is the amount of crumple doesn’t necessarily mean much...todays cars are made to crumple in specific ways to absorb impacts and keep that energy away from the passengers. I was rear ended when I was 15 in my Keep Cherokee, the roof buckled around the passenger doors but all 4 doors still opened ok...it totaled the car but it performed as designed.
