The intrinsic safer comes from mass. In car vs car collision, a 1 star giant SUV will roll over top a 5 star compact and be fine. However if the 1 star SUV hits a tree, guardrail, etc, the 1star passengers will be harmed/die where the 5 star compact car passengers in the same accident will survive.
Yeah, of course. That’s basically what I meant: that some people buy SUVs on the assumption that they’re intrinsically safer, which is not true.
