While I completely believe that modern cars a significantly safer than their 
50's-60's counterparts, something doesn't seem right.

With an 80 MPH impact speed, I am amazed that the driver of the new Chevy 
would only sustain foot injuries. Are there any experts on the list that 
could comment. I was under the impression that at that impact speed, even in 
modern cars your chances of serious injury or death is very high.
