Could the hood of an alumiduty support the weight of a full grown adult (150-200 lbs) without caving in or denting? I think I can guess the answer but I haven't found any specs related to this. Go figure. Asking for a friend.
To be fair on this question. Are there any passenger vehicles in production today, with hoods that will support 150-200 pounds without denting? Even the vehicles with steel hoods, are not thick enough or reinforced enough to hold much weight, especially concentrated into foot sized areas.

Perhaps this is why Ford lowered the ride height of the 2020's? Consumeher demand?
The seems very weak compared to the rest of the body. I drove through a hail storm a few months ago and the hood was totaled, there were about 4 dents between the fenders and a pillars and about 400 on the hood.
