Whatever the kind of vehicle, crashworthiness is definitely not
described by the mass of the vehicle itself!


Well... saving weight by deleting crash protection doesn't help, does
it?
Crash protection needs material which always adds weight.

All of the mass situated behind the pilot's seat is dangerous, not
protective.


And the mass right around him (read: cockpit) that's meant to absorp
the impact energy without crushing him?
