Every new car that is released, most of the times manufactures include improvements in the design of the car for safety measures or new safety features or improvements in the car driving experience which also include brakes and suchlike. Some of the main known safety features are seatbelts, invented by a Volvo engineer ,Nils Bohlin, in 1959 as jalopnik.com mentions. Another important safety feature is the airbag invented in In 1971 as, the Ford car company built an experimental airbag fleet and started to improve from there, and the last safety feature I would like to mention is the crumple zone which was an invented by Mercedes-Benz engineer Béla Barényi originally in 1937 but developed more into form in 1952.

The crumple zones are usually in front of the car and behind the car and you could call them a large bumper sections which the purpose is to try to absorb crash energy before it can reach to the passenger compartment. The crumple zones in some cars are made of hard metal to increase strength so the vehicle can absorbs the impact force more which minimize the energy transferred to the passenger compartment as Lexus drivers states. Other vehicles crumple zones are made out of softer metal that is easy to crumple but the meal around the passenger compartment is stronger and prevents from further compressing to keep the passengers safe. Now when in a crash and the collision accrues the impact time lengthens and becomes longer but then reduces the impact force, so it might take more time for the car to come too a rest but that decreases the impact force on the passngers making it safer

Crumple zone
The positive points of crumple zone is it reduce Injury to passengers because it absorbs the energy impact.
A negative aspect of crumple zones the car body mostly deforms in crashes.
No crumple zone
The positive aspect of no crumple zone is there is less damage to car in a collision (in small crashes)(become there isn’t more to the car to crash)
A huge negative point that all car producer consider is that if there is no crumple zone there will be more force on passengers which …show more content…

The crumple zones help reduce damage to passengers when in a crash but not the car. Without any crumple zones in a car there is a increased chance of being injured or killed in a crash. One type of social issue from a car accident due to injuries such as mental injuries and physiological impacts such as PTSD, depression (if in a car crash a person killed someone, they might feel guilty and sometimes when someone feels guilty it starts to shape and grow other unwanted philological problems which then increase the chance of suicide if they are not relived from this philological problem )blindness, or physical impacts like loss movements because the crash made the person brake a bone and suchlike. These types of injuries effect people socially because they affect how people can relate, interact with other people, and live a basic life. Now to brake it down, brain injury makes it harder to function normally therefore it could affect the ability to talk, communicate with other, or if they have PTSD lose sleep causing drowsiness and so on forth with effect how they function in their life. Also physical injuries could affect the ability to play sport which is could be categorized as a social related concept that many groups of friends do to connect or meet new people, or practice to join and make friends with conman interest (an example is a person
