With bumper/hood/windshield as a unit there is good chance you’ll roll over the smooth surface that has some give to it instead of getting mowed down by someones exposed crashbar. Common sense.

I would rather have a plastic bumper cover take some impact rather then smashing a steel beam.

they really don’t unless you are talking like clipping a curb or something… (bottoming out.)

the absorption material, if any is what has some give on the impact (foam, etc.)

lots of bumpers have nothing of the sort, just a metal rebar, and a thin layer of plastic that fits tightly over it.
