See my response - the Mini and F-150 hitting EACH
OTHER at 40 mph is like the Mini hitting a wall at
some higher speed than 40, and the F-150 hitting a
wall at a lower speed than 40 MPH.  Say its 50 vs. 30
MPH. Now is a Mini safer (ie, does it absorb energy
saafely) at 50 vs. an F-150 at 30?  maybe so.
