That was my thinking but a 30mph collision with a pedestrian left me in hospital with a deep cut next to my knee that needed emergency surgery, a slice deep into a steel toe cap, crushed heel and twisted ankle despite having work safety boots on and that was on a scooter.
I can totally understand where you're coming from but sadly experience tells me it's got little to do with the weight of the engine.
