Lots of people are killed every year in SUV rollovers yet the SUV drivers feel "safer" because they are up high. Sometimes one's gut feel isn't the best way to judge a risk. If you get hit really hard from behind in any car it could be disasterous. I agree with those who think the wagon is less safe but I expect the difference is far less than you may think.
