Dr. William Haddon Jr. told the Senate Commerce Committee that seven 1973 model cars suffered high crash damage even at speeds below walking pace. Impalas, Galaxies, Furys, and other models showed costs from $12 to over $1,252, despite bumper standards. He warned automakers allow shell crumple and cracked radiators at high public costs.
