After having watched the video I can't help but think that anyone in that little vehicle would likely be dead, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  The roll cage is one thing but at some point you gotta think a little buffer/crumple zone might offer some further protection.  All I can say is that at least if you and someone you love happen to cross paths with an 18 wheeler in your "smart" car you'll save the price of a coffin because they'll be able to bury you in it :(

You cross paths with an 18 wheeler, in anthing but another 18 wheeler and you are toast, period.  Doesn't matter what you drive.  Your survival chances will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but they aren't very good chances anyway.

That liberty looks like it stood up fairly well, The passenger compartment seems to be relativly intact.
