Here's a list of the safe transportation.

Are pickups safe.
There is some goods link on there to.

The number of occupant fatalities in passenger cars dropped from 25,063 in 1989 to 20,320 in 2001 and then edged upward to 20,415 in 2002. In contrast, the number of deaths in light trucks — which includes pickups, sport utility vehicles and vans — climbed from 8,551 in 1989 to 12,182 in 2002, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Light-truck fatalities accounted for nearly 36 percent of the total vehicle-occupant deaths during 2002.
I know you don't drive a light truck but..

It would be interesting to see data about the safety of large trucks, Hummers and SUV instead of what is just accepted as facts. The safety requirements are not the same as cars.
