As most people would be down right horrified at the damage done to a late model car at next to no speed. I see it every day(salvage yard).

And even more horrified if you survive it and have to pay to have your plastic tinkertoy fixed.

Looks like that w123 crumpled and absorbed impact while preserving the cabin pretty well. I betcha the seatbelt retractor did not work correctly if that is a head mark on the windscreen.
