I'm skeptical that guardrail specs include safely stopping a 3200 pound car going 100 MPH - yeah, its probably supposed to crumple but freak things happen at that speed. He could have been skewered by one of the guardrail posts; would we then be saying that those posts ought to break away in a crash?
