Then don't drive an old car, or really any car that doesn't have the 5 star crash rating.

Yeah, that test was all the rage on the internet when it came out. Problem is I believe that 50's era body style still had an X-frame and tended to collapse just like that, which is why they haven't built frames like that in 50+ years.

Either way, a 60 year old car or a 6 month old car, collisions happen and if you're afraid then there's not much you can do except not drive an older car.
