Xj -

You'll understand my lack of enthusiasm for the "bigger is better" ideal. If you want to look at facts, you should realize that in a smaller vehicle, you have a decreased chance of actually making contact in the first place. That's simple to understand, right?

By the way- I'm not a mod, and I'll thank you to make no further attempts at pointing out what I "should know better".

The bus incident isn't I clear cut case of "bigger and more massive winning", its a case of "designed for a purpose with safety in mind". Had that rolling penis extension collided with a similarly designed vehicle of more mass and volume, the same sorts of damage would likely have occurred to both vehicles. Weight hasn't much to do with structural integrity, sir. Physical size lends a hand to energy dispersal during a crush phase, but not much else.
