umm, if you are hitting people hard enough that they are getting into the chassis there is little that can be done for them. I think you are referring to springy body panels, and design of said body panels. (height, angles etc.)

BTW: ATOT != Google

Maybe we should just attach cowcatchers to the front of all vehicles.
