Ya, and the need to 'feel' safe is also why we have some many soccer moms on their cell phone flying around in 6,000lbs SUVs.
You can find pictures of Saabs completely pancaked by a big rig if you want; my understanding is the Smart is actually pretty safe though of course disadvantaged to some extent in a collision with a larger car.
I actually drive them occasionally as part of a car share program, and they're interesting but basically feel like a missed opportunity (the transmission is a total disaster). If you drive something like a Chevy Spark, you really don't give up much of the size advantage but get a car that massively more versatile and drives so much better.
