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.

No it doesnt, but a heavy duty chassis, heavy gauge metal, a plethora of air-bags, ABS, traction control, heavy duty suspension, 4wd, electronic stability control do. All this makes heavy, rugged vehicle able to withstand far more punishment than an econobox, or "green" car.
But for arguments sake that thing, called a Hummer H2 was an ill conceived ba$tard of a vehicle...all show little go. For its weight and size a much better and safer vehicle could have been designed....still put it up against any little car and my money is on the "Hummer".
