Even belted in you're at a higher risk in an SUV, especially from your roof crumpling in on you. I believe some of the newer models are being reinforced, but you have to ask. Also, remember that side windows aren't glazed, and if your head hits that glass you're in trouble then, too.

All the glass except for the windshield in a vehicle is tempered and when it breaks it crumbles in small, popcorn shaped pieces that do not cut or lacerate; the windshield is laminated plate glass (2 layers) and plastic and can slash your throat.
