With the new lower noses, instead of lifting off when hitting the rear of another car, now it seems the car ahed gets its rear pushed up and the car that collides with it tends to dive under the car.

I am thinking of what happens when this happens with higher speeds and when the car ahead hasn´t started to turn at all... maybe the car coming from behind may totally go all the way through under the other car... but what happens to the head of the driver coming from behind? I am worried of possible major trauma if not worse.
