Meh, I can't imagine that happening very often - usually, I'd have thought, the car would be out of control after the first impact anyway and brakes might not do much to help.

I guess it only has to save one life to be worth it but I'm unconvinced whether the cost is worth the reduced risk. Cars these days are already incredibly safe.
