All that frame, engine, radiator, hood, etc. will absorb a heck of a lot of energy that YOU would absorb if you were in front of most of that stuff. It's only logical. Sure, the amount of energy absorbed by all that equipment might be limited compared to what is passed on back, but that is WAY better than YOU absorbing all that energy first-hand. Gimme a conventional. Besides, they're easier to climb into.....
