Unfortunately, crash resistance and lightweight, great road-feel, "vertically compliant / horizontally" stiff are at odds with one another.
I'm sure that cervelo and other manufacturers could build a carbon frame that is very capable of coming through a crash in good condition, but how much would it weigh? Who would buy it? And because so many crazy variables are involved in a crash, how could you really design for protection? You'd have to overbuild the entire frame.
Also, this concept does not only apply to carbon. Any frame that strives for lightweight is going to compromise its "crash resistance". I've seen some titanium frames (Litespeed Ghisallo), steel frames (new stainless models come to mind) and aluminum that have tubes that give a little when you squeeze them.
