Yep, there's also a bunch of uncontrolled data out there, as well.

Something about "ZOMG! MY SISTER'S BEST FRIEND OWNZ A SMRT AND HITTED A PEEBBLE IN DA ROOD AND IT POPPED HER HEAD OFF!"

The fact is, the car has to pass minimum safety standards to be sold in the US as a highway capable motor vehicle. The Smart is much safer than a late model Ford F-series, I can tell you that much. 35MPH in a Smart, you walk away with a stiff neck... 35 MPH in a F-series, you get prosthetic legs, if you're even alive.
