Two cars colliding are safer than two SUVs colliding, it's simple physics. More energy = more damage, generally speaking.
I'm 6'4" and never have trouble fitting in the vast majority of cars. In fact, most sedans are more comfortable for me than many SUVs.
- giantg2 5y agoEven with a rear-facing car seat behind you? I find it extremely uncomfortable, and even unsafe, if your knees are touching the dash and/or your head is touching the roof. "Two cars colliding are safer than two SUVs colliding, it's simple physics. More energy = more damage, generally speaking." There's also more energy absorbing material from the amount of energy the crumple zone can absorb. And the interior space make it less likely that it will crush you if the crumpling does extend into the cabin. "There are 20 percent fewer deaths when two SUVs collide than when two cars collide." This is an older article with some outdated info (like A pillars are larger and impact zones on cars have gotten higher), but this seems to refute your claim. https://issues.org/graham/ https://issues.org/graham/
