The 
crumple zones of an 
automobile are a structural feature designed to compress during an 
accident to absorb 
energy from an impact. Typically, crumple zones are located in the front part of the vehicle, in order to absorb the impact from a head-on collision, though they may also be found on other parts of the vehicle as well.
