did a few runs myself with a very simple impact craft (mk 1-2 pod + escape tower). At speeds definitely in excess of the tolerance, the escape tower still doesn't explode at impact when impacting with its tip. Generally the node breaks and the pod stumbles away (and explodes as expected), then the escape tower explodes if touches ground by its rear (at lower speed than the initial impact).
Given the above, I would guess a collider is missing or not properly positioned with the escape tower.
