Modern vehicles are exceptionally safe when operated responsibly. Safety restraints and safety equipment have come a long way, as long as you’re wearing them.

In the USA this is one of the reasons why it is easily constitutional to have laws requiring the use of seatbelts, because your unrestrained body isn’t just your problem.
That depends a lot on the vehicle. If you’re in something small like a sedan, you might as well be on a bike for all the protection it’ll provide from a collision with an SUV or pickup truck
That’s a load of bullshit.
