Ah, head-on collisions involving low sport car type vehicles VS taller pickup trucks often result in the lower sport car going underneath the pickup, as seen below.
More than a few of the collisions often resulted in fatalities to the lower sport car vehicles, including the occupants of the lower vehicle being beheaded.
In this scenario, if I have a choice of being in a head-on, I'd opt for being in a higher 3/4 ton truck any day of the week, as opposed to being in a low profile vehicle.
Barbra Mandrell’s Jag XJ was *way* lower than the truck that hit her. Again, it got messed up but she walked away and the other guy died. That said, this is a matter of geometry, not materials in terms of who ends up on top of who.
