I can't read, speak, or think in German (yet)  ;-) , and I haven't translated
it.  Judging from the pictures, it looked like the Y-shaped frame members
deformed on impact.  Is that the 'crumple zone'?  Looks like a short and brutal
deceleration, but if it works I'm happy.  No need for me to test it on my own.

PS:  The sound pads I ordered have shipped, I will do an analysis next week.
The truth will be discovered!
