The hood, hood hinge, front fender, front bumper, wiper pivot and or brackets are constructed to absorb impacts to minimize pedestrian injuries in a car-to-pedestrian crash.

Clearance secured beneath bumper absorbs passenger impact

Collapsible hood hinges bend to absorb impact

Shaft movement at the base of the wiper pivots absorbs impact

Collapsible fender brackets absorb impact by allowing the fenders to deform

Clearance secured beneath the windshield allows deformation to absorb impact

Clearance secured beneath the headlight absorbs impact by the allowing this area to deform easily

Clearance secured beneath the hood absorbs impact by allowing hood area to deform easily

Pop-up hood hinges (some markets) absorb impact by lifting up the rear side of the hood, providing extra deformation space
