A vehicle having a frame designed to reduce the damage caused by collisions between vehicles. The design of the frame has a cone shaped front and rear, with the point of the cone low to the ground to get under and lift the other vehicle in the event the front or rear of the vehicle makes contact with a conventional vehicle. If two vehicles of this design meet front to front or front to rear, the cone shape promotes glancability so the vehicles will glance off of one another rather that smash each other. The design of this vehicle includes an oval cross section, therefore if a conventional vehicle hits the side of the invention it will hit on the curved part of the side of the vehicle at the main chassis beam which is very strong. The curved part of the frame will promote the vehicle being pushed up tending to roll it over thus absorbing part of the impact as the conventional vehicle tends to have its front end pushed into the ground by being under the curved part of the inventions frame.

A crashable vehicle frame consisting of: a main body section having frame members defining a top, a bottom and sides of the vehicle, and having an oval longitudinal cross section, the main body section has a front and a rear, a front and a rear cone attached to the main body section, each cone having a half cone shape, one cone coming to a point in the front of the vehicle and one cone coming to a point at the rear of the vehicle, the vehicle has a width having a center, the front and rear cones having a point and a base, the point of the front and rear cones are at the center of the vehicles width, a skid plate on the bottom of the frame extending from the point of the cones to the base of the cones, the skid plate helps the vehicle to slide on the ground should there be a collision where the cone lifts another vehicle and the bottom of the cone is forced onto the ground, the main chassis beams running the length of the vehicle, the main chassis beams are parallel to each other in the main body section and converge to a point in the cone shaped front and rear sections, the main chassis beams are positioned on either side of the vehicle at a height so that it will make contact with and absorb the shock of a collision with another vehicle, a center beam running from the point of the front cone sloping upward to a roof, running through the center of the roof and then sloping down to the point on the rear cone, a plurality of cross beams extending between the main chassis beams on the bottom of the vehicle, and two floor beams extending the length of the main body section, located between the main chassis beams and attached to the cross beams to give the vehicle frame strength, the front cone has a plurality of ribs running from the main chassis beams up to the center beam to reinforce the front cone, there are a plurality of cross ribs which run from the point of the cone to the rear most rib to further reinforce the front cone, and a series of center cross braces running from the skid plate to the center beam to reinforce the center beam so that it has the strength to lift another vehicle in the event of a collision, to further strengthen the vehicle two front window beams extend from a point on the center beam forming a V shape and attach to a front roll beam, a front support beam extends upward from the main chassis beam to the juncture of the front window beam and the front roll beam for additional support and to spread the stress caused by collisions a front roll beam and a rear roll beam which extend from one main chassis beam to the other, the front and rear roll beams are curved so as to give the vehicle its oval shape, two roof beams extend between the front and rear roll beams at the top of the vehicle frame to help define and support the roof of the vehicle, the roof beams run parallel to the center beam one roof beam on each side of the center beam, two front roof beams extending from a point on the center beam forming a V shape and attached to the front roll beam, to strengthen the roof of the vehicle, two rear roof beams extending from a point on the center beam forming a V shape and attaching to the rear roll beam, to strengthen the roof of the vehicle, the front and rear roll beams define the opening for a door on each side of the vehicle, the rear cone has a plurality of ribs extending from the main chassis beams to one of two trunk roll bars, the ribs running parallel to the center beam, so that in the event of another vehicle striking said frame at the rear the other vehicle can be lifted up and supported on the rear cone, the rear cone also has two rear window roll bars, two rear window beams and a center brace, the center brace extends from the rear cone\s skid plate to the center beam to reinforce the rear cone structure, the rear window beams extend from the juncture of the center beam and center brace to the rear roll beam forming a V shape, and attach to a rear roll beam, the trunk roll bars and the rear window roll bars extend from the main chassis beam to the rear window beams, to reinforce the rear of the vehicle.
