I remember reading that. Also they did an impact test between the SMART
and some 4door luxury sedan. The smart doesn't have crumplezones.
Instead it has a full steel rollcage or such. In the impact the sedan
crumpled and the smart bounced like a ping-pong ball, but the passengers
came out just fine. That is how the car was supposed to react.
