So, what happens to these composites when they crash? There are a lot
of composites these days, and a bunch of LSA composites.

I imagine that stuff shattering on hard impact cutting the passengers
into tiny shreads. Or at least cutting them up really bad.

But maybe they do really well. Anyone got some facts on it?





FRom what I've read, they're not so good in a crash. Wood is supposed to be
even worse, with aluminum considerably better and all bested by good old
fashioned steel tubing.
