for the case of the side of the car: if the side doors are crumple then the people in the car would be crash because there is not much space for the crumble zone to absord the force and redistribute. also, if the roof of the car is crumple, then when the car collapses , people in the car will be crash. we want the collision force to be far away from the passengers , and the way that the crumble zone work is when the car hit something, the crumble zone reduces the initial force of the crash, and they redistribute the force before it reaches the vehicle's occupants.
hope this kind like give you the idea,

An air bag is an inflatable cushion designed to protect automobile occupants from serious injury in the case of a collision. The air bag is part of an inflatable restraint system, also known as an air cushion restraint system (ACRS) or an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS), because the air bag is designed to supplement the protection offered by seat belts. Seat belts are still needed to hold the occupant securely in place, especially in side impacts, rear impacts, and rollovers. Upon detecting a collision, air bags inflate instantly to cushion the exposed occupant with a big gas-filled pillow.
