I thought the same thing but apparently there is a difference. Crumple zones stay more-or-less intact and absorb energy over a relatively long period of time. Shedding parts removes the energy in a hurry. But I don't grok all that (it makes sense going by what I remember of my Physics classes but I can't say I fully understand it), so take it with a grain of salt. I'm assuming that the guy knew what he was talking about (he was a 2nd generation body guy) but you never know.

Ghostvette and Limeybastard like this.
