I think the speed is 70km/h for each vehicle (not 100% sure but i think that's what one of the german dudes says in the video)
Nobody would want to be in any car experiencing a crash...No car can ever guarantee your safety with absolute certainty. For its size and intended use (city car) I would think the Smart outperforms a big number of cars of its class and even larger vehicles. People that drive around in large-very large vehicles thinking their indestructible are the biggest danger to others and themselves. Self-awareness and knowing that it's best to avoid at all means a crash is what saves more people than any airbags and other contraptions...
