None of that damage should have occurred from a pinata.

At $1,000, it's probably safe to assume these aren't the only cheaply made parts of the vehicle.

I'd like to see some tests with other vehicles. A pinata at that speed is still a good chunk of force and many bumpers are plastic.

Sure but if you're doing that then you don't need the pinata test at all.
