You may be making the classic error by incorrectly assuming that a highly damaged/compressed car post-incident means greater damage to occupants. Certainly nothing is clear cut in the chaos and massive variables permutations of a collision, but more damage (of certain type) to car means car took more of the impact energy away from occupants, which is the modern design paradigm with good reason. Those pics are also of car post-rescue — no attention is paid to preservation until the humans are out.
