I doubt any road bike manufacturer takes crash worthiness into consideration when designing their bikes. All bikes are relatively fragile, many would fold in a 25mph collision.
Wood isn'y much good for bikes because it has a low strength to weight ratio compared to metal and composites. However, if you're willing to sacrifice lots of grams (and get max hipster points), it'll fucking do!
Ye Gods.
