Umm... Generally the explorer is very safe to be in, in a crash.
I was rear ended a couple weeks ago, by an inattentive driver.
I sustained no damage other than some paint transfer on my bumper, though
the collision was enough to push the Ex two feet with the brakes
locked.  The other car, a mid-size pickup, had extensive front-end damage.

I also had a run-in with a telephone pole (ice) several years ago.
Head on at 55, and all I got was a bruise where the seat belt goes.
The car was totalled, as it pushed the engine back about two feet.

In neither case, was the car to blame.
