It is always sad to see loss of life but these cars are no more dangerous than a Smart Car or any lightweight car.Wether it be for more speed Or fuel mileage you should know the risks of lightweights. Rather be riding in one of these than a cycle with the drivers on the roads these days. No matter what it is sad and condolences to all the families !
