That seems like elementary rigid body mechanics to me. In this case
calculations trump measurements due to the well-understood nature of
the
physics and the inherent errors of any measurement.

A simple longitudinal simulation model should be well sufficient to
gain
good insight into these types of accidents. Would be an interesting
subject
for a followup article.
