Really saying "it was only a 5MPH collision" means nothing.
It is all about the energy of the collision and how the energy was absorbed.

Example - what would cause more damage:
FRS rolling at 5 MPH and hits a smart car
FRS rolling at 5 MPH and hits a brick wall
FRS stationary and a loaded dump truck hits FRS moving at 5 MPH
