The part about the Disc brakes is correct, but the first point is not correct. ICF coaches are also anti-telescopic, they are also designed such that they are not crushed in the event of a head-on collision. Accidents with ICF coaches have had more casualties than the LHB counterparts because of the type of couplings. Traditional ICF coaches have screw type couplings, because of which adjacent coaches can roll over independent of each other. It is because of this that the coaches turn over or flip over during accidents. However, LHB rakes don't do so, because of their CBC couplings. We also have ICF trains with CBC couplings (like Tamilnadu express, Godavari express, Howrah - Madras mail to name a few). These CBC ICF rakes will also not turn over or flip during accidents and are quite safe.
