How do you design for small overlap frontal crash performance?

Small overlap crashes (like IIHS 25% offset) bypass main front rail structures, presenting unique challenges. Design strategies include: Extended bumper beam coverage, diagonal reinforcement connecting bumper to main rail, robust A-pillar base and hinge pillar, shotgun (front fender reinforcement) structures for secondary load path, door-mounted beams engaging B-pillar, and restraint system optimization for oblique loading. The goal is engaging vehicle structure rather than allowing wheel intrusion and maintaining occupant compartment integrity despite offset load path.
