heres a few pics- shows the difference between pop and buck rivets. I think the same safety laws are also in effect here for the pop rivets. Pop rivets are way weaker than buck rivets.

Versions of heavy steel buck rivets are used on frames of lots of vehicles. I just replaced some cross members on a 98 F150 the other day, which was riveted together with heavy steel buck rivets.
