No. Not really. Heavier cars are safer in crashes, because they can simply
push aside smaller opponents, while losing only little speed. The negative
accleration is what kills you in a car crash. Heavier car = less negative
accleration = less injury.

I guess that's also the reason why seat belt are less common in busses than
in cars.
