What risk? that you have less vehicle to hit or to hit other things? that small cars are less likely to roll over, that lighter cars stop faster and accelerate faster?
Trash cans and soup cans are both made out of steel that is pretty close to the same thickness, but what one is going to be easier to dent? the trash can is going to crumple while the soup can is hard to crush.
