So finding out 120mph into reinforced concrete is bad is a shock because.....?

I think the point they are making is that 2 cars travelling at 60mph involved in a head on would have the same impact.

Even still, shouldn't be a shock!

Nope.

Owing to the properties of large lumps of concrete and some clever maths. The car hitting concrete has to absorb all of its own kinetic energy.

When 2 cars hit head on assuming the same mass they each absorb their share.

Therefore a car hitting a car head on of the same mass is actually identical to 1 car hitting a concrete block at the same speed. Be it 40, 60, 100mph.

Tbh, I prefer to not hit anything.
