Someone 'up there' likes you.
I've heard drivers moan about having to wear binbags in a 47 because the weather got in, but it sounds like the structural design was sound.
It's a strange thing, vehicle collisions. In my youth I was a Retained Firefighter, and I've seen people step unscathed out mangled wrecks, whilst conversely fatalities have been pulled out of cars when both they and the car hardly had a scratch on 'em. As we know from recent Crumple Zone research, it's very much a matter of energy dissipation. The idea in modern vehicle design is to ensure the crash energy bypasses the humans and is channelled through the structure.
PS: I wonder how a 66 would fare nowadays ?
