A rail assembly configured to limit a lateral deformation of an intermediate portion of the rail assembly to a predetermined lateral deformation when the rail assembly is subjected to an external force includes an inner portion, an outer portion, and a web portion. The inner portion has an inner wall. The outer portion has an outer wall and is attached to the inner portion. The inner portion and the outer portion together form a hollow rail. The web portion is configured with a deformation initiator, disposed inside of the hollow rail, and attached to the inner wall of the inner portion and the outer wall of the outer portion. The web portion is configured to limit the lateral deformation of the intermediate portion of the rail assembly to the predetermined lateral deformation when the rail assembly is subjected to the external force.
