The after pictures clearly show why the 1959 car kills you, while the 2009 let's you live.
PS: "The dummy's head struck the steering wheel rim and hub and then the roof and unpadded metal instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.... The windshield was completely dislodged from the car and the driver door opened during the crash, both presenting a risk of ejection. In addition, the front bench seat was torn away from the floor on the driver side."
Ouch.... an instant death according to the IIHS. And the '09 Malibu? "A high acceleration was recorded on the left foot, indicating that foot injuries would be possible.
Umm someone needs to explain that you're supposed to let the viral video spread where it will, not send take down notices when it does start to spread.
