That's why police now use coordination and spike strips to stop cars whenever possible. Colliding just has too many injury risks by itself and can also put you in a very bad position. In addition to being very expensive to repair or replace cars, modern vehicles also have airbags that can deploy in a collision, which significantly adds an element of disorientation.
Granted, given the equipment available at the time, stopping a car was not such a simple matter. Before spike strips, police would sometimes resort to blowing out a car's tires with shotguns. These FBI agents simply had bad tactics, bad coordination, and failed to use their available equipment properly.
