My 2001 V70 was rear-ended, while stopped, by a raised up jeep with a winch on front (Aug 29, 2013). This kind of rig is not uncommon in the northwest. I was the only passenger (driver) and, due to the good anti-whiplash design of the seats, had no injury or even pain from a really hard slam (see photos). However, the entire back cargo area was crushed and I think had there been kids in the third row seats, they would have been killed or seriously injured. They are teens now, and don't ride there, but I feel really really lucky and would say NEVER put kids in those seats!!!!
I will buy another Volvo for the main passenger compartment safety, and the anti-whiplash seats - but advise all parents - do not use the third row, get a minivan.
I am not sure how to embed images but here is a link to the photos - pretty scary!
