The Panda scored 3 stars in 2015, so wouldn't have been remarkable then. The exact same same car now scores zero - not because its got any worse, but because the testing system has changed radically. You're as safe today driving a Panda as you were 4 years ago.

The major testing shakeup was in 2009.
The Fiat Panda was last tested in 2011.
The fiat Panda is a very dangerous car, particularly for rear seat passengers and children.

There are 24 pts up for grabs with respect to child safety from doing the crash tests and the Panda scores a big fat zero.

The overall score for child safety is 16% out of a possible 100%.
