Are you suggesting people not be allowed to improve their own chances of surviving a collision by purchasing a bigger vehicle? What about heavier cars?
If I follow your logic, the marketplace ought to be geared so that people would all drive the same sized car. Doesn't your position necessarily invoke the argument that people should all have the exact same chance of walking away from an accident?

Nope-- I gave you my reasons why I dislike SUVs. They shift the risk of harm from an accident from them to me.
BTW, studies show that large cars, pound for pound, do not create the same risks as SUVs for other cars.
