Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

As a fire fighter paramedic, I am forced to tell you guys the sad truth. Our old cars are not nearly as safe as the newer cars with their crumple zones, airbags, breaks, and shoulder belts. I love these old cars to death, but I drive with the knowledge that if I get in a bad wreck, I'm far more likely to die than a person in an ugly scion. Trust me guys, you wouldn't believe me if I told you the fatalities involved with older classic cars....
