That gif at the beginning of the article clearly showcases the lack of crumple zones. The impact energy doesn't dissipate and you can see the crash test dummies lurch forward with a good amount of whiplash at 35 mph (56 km/h).

35 mph (21.748 km/h).

You converted in the wrong direction.

1mph = 1.6 km/h

35 mph is 56 km/h
