I had BMR jacking rails on my 2019 GT.
I was t-boned at a 45 degree angle at speed by a drunk, the corner of the other car's front bumper hit right in the middle of my (driver's) door. I walked right out of the wreck. Police and paramedics couldn't believe it.
My question: do jacking rails do anything for the rigidity of the chassis and side impact protection, or is the chassis already so rigid that the effect is similar to laminating a toothpick on a 2x4?
