most are backed with stryofoam or some other "energy absobing material"
plastic is designed to "pop back out" in 5mph or less bump, after that it deforms and crushes the "eam" underneeth.
hit it hard enough and youll crush everything and start bending the frame/sub frame that the plastic is connected to.
