Wrong!!!! I suggest you read it!!! Heavier cars in in single car accidents have a lower death rate. This study even considers death rates of occupants in the other cars involved in accidents. It also covers the death rates involving pedestrians. All statistics are weighted on the the actual probability of it happening.

Let me see your data that takes these factors into account.
