Most likely, you're off by a factor of ten.
Typical street engines idle around 900 rpm and redline south of 6,000 rpm.

Zeke has it right.
Don't be chagrined... I don't know anything about labor law.
At least you didn't try to tell us that islands are going to tip over!

I would imagine that two vehicles equally designed with equal crumple zones, and the only difference being mass, the one with more mass would protect you better than the lighter one.

Agree. The lighter one is going to 'bounce' pretty hard. To come to a sudden stop is bad enough, but instantly bouncing the other direction is even worse.

Would you rather hit a telephone pole at 70 MPH drinking 'ol Grandpap or finely crafted shine?
Driving, of course a '55 Buick with a Cadillac motor w three duces.
