This makes absolutely no sense at all and flies in the face of all the statistics pointed out in the article.

Lower hood-lines save lives. You don't need a tall crumple zone.

I agree, but those rules require a crumple zone under the hood (basically between the hood line and top of engine). I didn’t write the rules, and I don’t enforce them.
