Older heavier cars didn’t compress much that is true but many died from the sudden impact because they kept moving. I remember seeing a young woman eyes open frozen in eyes that saw it coming before impact perfectly intact but she was sadly gone. Someone swerved in her lane from opposite direction. I remember a paralyzed man who was literally thrown through the back window from the drivers seat. I remember at about 19 a strong impact literally lifted me off the seat towards the back but I grabbed the steering wheel and held on. Got a stiff neck out of it. Many more thrown from the cars and lack of seat belts didn’t help. Those who wore them suffered broken bones from the belts. Where the person is on impact you learn to look for injuries. For instance what side of the car determines to look for left or right shoulder injuries from the seat belt that might not being evident at first sight. Now there’s coming up with stronger metal that’s light. Wonder how much they’ll cost where they’re already expensive.
