A 2000 lb car will accelerate (well, decelerate) 2 times faster in an impact than a 4000 lb car in a crash with the same vehicle. Force = mass x acceleration. Plus, smaller and lighter vehicles can't absorb impact energy as well as bigger ones can. Try and find a crumple zone in a smartcar, when you do, tell me because I haven't found them yet
