These comments are coming from the extrapolation of experience of imported personal electronics, as well as historical crash test results of CDM vehicles.

Yeah, I imagine if you're going to use a truck like this, it's for (relatively) slow hauling of stuff around a private property where there's low risk of hitting something. I wouldn't trust this in a collision with another vehicle even at low speed.

The crash test result is a proxy of build and construction quality.

Did they wrap some tin foil around balsa and call it a day (figuratively), or was true thought given to the structure of the vehicle?
