So is the extra reinforcement safe or unsafe???

You may not get hurt from collision but if you do, the rescuer may also encounter difficulty to get you out...

I would think that the more extra reinforcement of passenger cell the better. The rescurers might be able to get you out faster in a less reinforced vehicle but you might not be alive because the structure collasped in on the occupant http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Subaru and their safety / construction helped save my life in an insane (wrx -vs- (2) 18-wheelers) auto accident on 3/23/04. Take a look at the video and magazine article...

Dang!

Pretty impressive.

The truck from behind didn't even interact with the rear bumper beam and you still walked away http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

nice article BTW camber.
I think by keeping the B pillar that reinforced allows for extraction.
I would guess a front impact your body is near the B pillar already, a rear one would push passengers toward the B. B pillar helps for side impacts.
Kinda like door frame in an earthquake.
