Re: Is your frame tough enough for first?

The speed at which the collision occurs, as well as the angles and location of the hit, and how effective the bumpers are, etc will play a big part. For weight, figure 150 lbs to make it easy.

Some materials absorb impacts better than others...for example, fiberglass tends to bounce back, while some aluminum shapes get bent easily.
