Default Ranger crash safety

Wandering around on youtube has killed a lot of time for me, but I found a series of crash tests for the ranger and they are a little scary. Really makes me reconsider caging the truck. Or at least looking into integrating the airbags in my seats with the trucks crash systems. Scary stuff. I wonder how much the energy of a crash is deflected or redirected on a lifted or double lifted truck as opposed to stock 2wd height.

It all depends on the force and the mechenisms involved in the crash such as speed and many other variables
