While crumple zones do help, in a crash situation, mass does help. I'd rather be in the Mack truck, than in the MGB Midget in a head on collision.
Acually, of my few accidents, most of them were with older people too. Always in a hurry, on the phone or something else that had nothing to do with them driving a car. The vast majority of people suck at driving and when you add in ANYTHING else that takes away from these people with bad habits and poor skills, you have a recipe for accident.You people need to google crumple zones. I can't believe there is individuals out there that still think size is what saves you. Take a massive lead box, and smash it into a wall. The box will be fine, and you'll be splattered all over the insides.
Also, I've had more close calls with older individuals then young. The only car crash I've been in was with a guy in his 40s, that cut over 2 lanes while making a right turn. Lazy driving habits developed over time.
