    During a car collision momentum of vehicle ceases within a fraction of seconds so Force due to the impulse is huge.

    Impulse is defined as the product of average force and time. If we can increase the period of collision for the same impulse then the average force imparted will be less.

    If we can increase the time period then damage due to collision will be less.
