Crumple Zone I choose to look at the crumple zone in cars for my technological device and briefly touch upon seat belts in cars and air bags. The crumple zone in my own words is a zone built in an automobile to compress when an accident occurs. This was built to absorb “deformation” energy from the impact. The other reason it was built‚ which is more common is to reduce the deaths in car accidents. Crumple zones are mostly located in the front of a car and this will absorb the energy from “head

In the late 1900s there were these unknown diseases that were making people die
