Question

What is a crumple zone?

Answer 1

The crumple zone of the automobile is the thing that keeps the passengers safe inside the passenger compartment of the automobile, because around your car, the fenders and certain portions of the car have been designed by automobile manufactures to crumple, to collapse, to absorb the crash forces during the collision.

The car won't make out so well, but you'll survive the crash.

Answer 2

Usually the part of the bonnet of your car that will "crumple" in a collision, thereby absorbing most of the energy of the impact.

Answer 3

A crumple zone is an area of a motor vehicle designed to collapse on impact, thereby reducing the energy transferred to the occupant(s) of the vehicle.

Crumple zones exist in the front, back, and sides of most motor vehicles, although the ones on the side are no where near as effective as the front and back, since they should not intrude into the passenger compartment.

Good Luck!
