Depends what you hit. A guard rail designed to absorb impact, sure.
A rather large tree, not so much. A concrete wall of a building, less so.
The quicker your seat comes to a stop, the higher the peak energy your body must absorb - Internal organs being smashed against each other.
If the front of the car crumples, the rate of acceleration you are subject to is lowered. Your liver doesn't split open, your neck doesn't snap and your brain doesn't squash itself against the inside of your skull.

Not the same one, obviously. Let's not step into the realms of fantasy.
