Two key phrases- "the car folded up" and "no one was injured"
15 mph is a lot of energy - If my physics hold up, this is the equivalent of dropping a car nose first from 30 feet - that's three stories. Unbelted passengers have been killed in 5 mph collisions that barely dented the bumper.
To me, a minor accident is one where I wasn't in the car- any other one is major. I would much rather the car is the one to crumple, not me. It sounds like the Merc did its job.
