Weight |= safety.
The only time when weight might help is in a head on collision. All other situations it is a hindrance. Slower and longer braking, far worse avoidance maneuvers, and in one vehicle accidents, you are much worse off in a heavier vehicle, all else being equal.
If weight is a good thing, then just build your car out of lead?!
The Aptera was always designed with safety in mind.
