Firemen will tell you this, often the people inside the more fucked up looking car are better off than the car that looks more intact, it means the car probably absorbed more of the impact than the passengers. A fireman literally told me this when my Boy Scout troop did a tour of his hall.
I was working on an ambualnce before that round of safety features was widely adopted. It was a shock for a few years to see cars that dissolved and largely unharmed people. It is rare to see catastrophic injuries they way we used to so that has been a good change overall.
