It's not new or worse than it ever has been. All but the cage area (Drivers compartment) are designed to bend some to absorb some of the impact. Most have friends with a frame rack. You mark the two ends of the bend. pull the car straight again. Then cut out and weld in new tubing in the areas that were bent. Sometimes replacing a good portion of the frame cage forward.. If it's too bad then ya junk it and start over.
