I don't really see an issue for drift events. But as has been stated, the entire bumper and front crash structure is designed to protect both pedestrians and those inside the car. It's not speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop. And years of research have gone into car crumple zones etc. to make that stop less sudden for those inside the car. Lower g forces = higher chance of survival. It doesn't matter if your car is intact if your brain has been slammed into the front of your skull at 100g's.
