:Here ya' go,John! Direct Quote from the crash-test page...............................`CAUTION: The kinetic energy a vehicle must absorb in a crash test increases with vehicle weight, so barrier tests are more demanding of heavier vehicles. BUT PEOPLE IN HEAVIER VEHICLES IN REAL-WORLD,2-VEHICLE CRASHES TYPICALLY FARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE IN LIGHTER VEHICLES (in many single-vehicle crashes, weight offers no safety advantage). This is why test results shouldn't be compared among vehicles with large weight differences.' (capitalization by me,`wink,wink') SO WEIGHT DOESN"T MATTER? You are very foolish indeed,John!
