BUMPERS
The car
bumper is designed to prevent or reduce physical damage to the
front and rear ends of passenger motor vehicles in low-speed
collisions. Automobile bumpers are not typically designed to be
structural components that would significantly contribute to
vehicle crashworthiness or occupant protection during front or
rear collisions. It is not a safety feature intended to prevent
or mitigate injury severity to occupants in the passenger cars.
Bumpers are designed to protect the hood, trunk, grille, fuel,
exhaust and cooling system as well as safety related equipment
such as parking lights, headlamps and taillights in low speed
collisions.
