That thing rotated over 360 degrees and went completely airborne, the Benz simply squatted and rotated less than 90*. Can you imagine a Smart car hitting something like a Suburban head on? I've got to wonder if it'd land on the Burban's roof!

At least the Fiat didn't go airborne, but it sure does look like it transferred a lot more energy into the passenger compartment. (hitting a different vehicle too though)

What is more scary to me is that in the smaller cars, due to the greater transferrence of force (Newton rules! 
) the driver's heads are completely thrashed about.
Neither of them likely survived... or can walk if they did, IMO.
Might as well get a motorcycle. You'll die either way if you run into something.

When my brother was over in Germany he saw that very same scenario; Benz vs. Smart with the same results per his description the smart car flew off the road like a basket ball.
