Actually Smart cars are surprisingly safe, they have strengthening bars that run all across the cars, notice the frame around the door is pretty much still intact, while most cars are designed to crumple in that area, obviously a Smart car can't crumple so they put in the metal bars.

Basically, you are right in the regards of vehicle strength, but wrong in the safety of it.

They are actually really strong, usually come out about the same or better than an average sedan in a similar accident. Downside is, however, that the car can't crumple to absorb the energy of the collision so they tend to bounce back a lot, so you can get whiplash or other injuries in a collision.
