Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.

Smeared pink greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head hit the B-pillar and grab handle during rebound. Head acceleration from this hit was negligible.
Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
