The procedures are pretty in depth. I assume the Bronco is designed to meet all the major categories. The "donut doors" could very well create an issue with a specific test that made them "fail" because of the way they deformed, took energy, didn't take energy, transferred energy etc. No clue, just surprising how the test can be influenced by different design and engineering elements. Some vehicles that perform very well in one test can do terrible in another. The frontal offset barrier test was a major change that required a lot of engineering in the recent past.
