I have been rearended 3 times and no damage from any of them, even with my cheap insta break plastic bumpers. Its about spacing, warning and how you react during the crunch. I hit the gas with the wheels cranked, got a tap then braked hard, and I just hit the curb (not something you are supposed to do but no one there) and avoided hitting the car in front of me on the side. I got hit at approx 25mph. I always watch behind me at lights. The other times letting off the brakes just prior to being hit then braking worked well.
If any of you have ever been to MN you will note that at many stoplights, especially in cities, everybody parks diagonally in the lane with a fairly sizable gap at lights. If thats a hint.
