No - it is just that the cars we mere mortals drive are so poorly designed that we think it is a wonder.

There is nothing special about these super-cars that make surviving 150 MPH crashes possible. It is outrageous that this same engineering is not in the cars "we" drive.

Best regards,
Vulcan.

there are pile ups that are far more expensive than this more often than you think, such as Formula1, BSB or MotoGP Wink
