Wonder if the one with a higher front bumper is the reason it did better...
A single accident is hardly conclusive. Did any of the passengers fail to wear seatbelts? Was the boy properly secured or bouncing around the back of the vehicle like I see so many kids doing? Was the mother hanging over the seat tending to the boy, or just turned away from facing front and in a bad position to not get the protection from the air bags? Seat belts are made to protect you if only you are facing forward and not twisted in the seat. We just don't know enough about this to draw the right conclusion.
