On the side test, the pass door really bent in more than I thought it would there really looks like passenger intrusion, I thought there were door beams to prevent intrusion like that, unless the video is deceiving. Also the pass really went forward into the dash on the front crash test.

The last shot is comforting as the curtain bag deploys before the head crashes into the side window. Hope I'll never need to use the safety systems built into the car.
