Exactly! There have been prototypes along those lines. Trouble is, they all have an unfortunate tendency to go into "compress" mode in a collision -- regardless of whether there are people occupying the space or not. [Linked Image]

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
