Ouch. Happy to hear everyone is OK. These 126s are really amazing when you think of the crumple area, and how most of the car is designed to manage energy in a crash. Even the driveline is designed to collapse, using the entire mass to absorb energy. It seems more Engineering went into these cars then Today's cars. Seen the new Lexus commercials with "Active Safe"? Mercedes had active belt pre-tensioners in '85 LOL.
Simply amazing these cars can take incredible amounts of abuse due to good engineering and good materials.
