Carbon Fiber Hood Question

I think the stock hood is designed to crumple in a front end crash. Do CF hoods also crumple or do they just fly off and decapitate the driver? Anyone ever do any crash testing with a CF hood? Just wondering.

CArbon Fiber tends to shatter on impact. I don't think it will decapitate you unless you hit a brick wall at 100mph.
