or at least, much less of a shock. Of course we know that the energy has to propagate through the driveline before it can reach the ground, but the shock is caused by the resistance, which is mostly at the end, caused by the tires attempting to overcome the car's inertia. On a frictionless surface, there would only be the driveline inertia, which we can safely neglect by comparison. You would never break an axle shaft on a frictionless surface.
