Honestly, I don't think the weight of the car matters too much in an accident with a bicycle or pedestrian. I was hit a few times by cars at low speed (10-20 km/h) while riding my motorcycle and the weight of the car did not matter, when I was rear ended if the car was 20% (300 kg) lighter it would still be 4 times the mass of (me + bike), so the impact would be similar. A car versus a pedestrian is almost identical if the car is 1000 kg or 2000 kg.

Not saying you are wrong, but this is anecdotal. I’d rather try to interpret crash statistics than use my own experience.

Yeah, I think the primary difference is the geometry - the SUVs and trucks present an almost flat surface and cause much more head and neck trauma - and in the visibility and controllability of the vehicle.
