    I don’t think there’s a way to make it work for both cases.

    It’s actually important that the rail gives in and deforms, as this reduces a cars energy much more quickly and safely than if it were rigid. Unfortunately this also makes them much less effective for larger vehicles.

    In the end, it’s a question of protecting as many people as well as possible.
