VW Golf Serious Crash - Safety in VW Golf - Mk7 vs MK2 - Driver Escapes Death in MK7 Golf

I recently saw some photos of a serious crash involving a VW Golf Mk7 where the driver escaped with only minor injuries. When you see the photo of the VW Golf crashed below you wonder how anyone could have got out alive. Fortunately there was just the driver in the car and they suffered minor injuries from the airbag but not serious ones. It really does show how the Euro NCAP car safety ratings have improved the design of cars that a crash as serious as this can allow the driver to survive.

In contrast this was a low speed collision in my old MK2 Golf GTI. I dread to think what would have happened if a MK2 was in a similar collision to the one above.
