yes, but crumple zones will reduce injury :)
What types of cars have crumple zones?

What are crumple zones and what are they good for?
crumple zones are areas on a car's body that have been designed to collapse in the event of a collision. They are useful in a collision to absorb some of the energy which makes the collision feel less severe to the occupants of the car and reduce the damage they sustain as a result of the collision.
Why do engineers build crumple zones around the engine?
To absorb the energy from an impact to prevent it from getting transferred onto the passengers.
What are crumple zones and how do they work in cars?
Crumple zones are zones built into cars that crumple in a controlled manner. The main crumple zones are at the front and the rear of a vehicle. On impact, they crumple up in a controlled manner, which stops the force energy reaching the occupants and injuring them. The crumple zone dissipates the energy Advantage :they save lives by stopping forceful energy Disadvantage: they can kill occupants in severe accidents because in high speed impacts they can dislodge the dashboard from the frame of the body Potential collapse of the footwells, trapping the driver and passenger Crumple zones can be recognised by bent body panels.
What is corrugated tube in car?
Crumple zones
Does crumple zones also reduce the damage being done to the car or object it crashes with?
Crumple zones are sections of the car designed to fold easily under pressure. This means that the damage done to the car will actually increase quite a lot. The good news is that the damage as a result of a crash is dramatically reduced for both the passengers in the car and the object the car hits. The design is to prioritise life over property.
What are statistics regarding crumple zones?
The crumple zones of cars are normally at the front because it is estimated that 65% of the car impacts occur on the front side. The crumple zone is aimed at absorbing the impact of a crush to secure the passengers.
How do you use crumple zones?
You would have to crash to use them.
How many lives have crumple zones saved?
lots
