SUVs Kill?

This post is for my (former?) friends at XRLQ and Libertarian Jackass:

According to a University of Virginia study, suburbanites are more at risk of being killed by an SUV than someone living in the city is at risk of being mugged in an alley.

Having said that, however, this news report is making me rethink my whole anti-SUV running schtick:

With the streets of the city of lights and love becoming increasingly clogged with Hummers, Cayennes and Ford Explorers, Paris is trying to find ways to drive sport utility vehicles out of the French capital. ... It’s hard to say how many SUVs are on the road, but a number of the city’s politicians are saying there are too many. In early June, the Paris City Council passed a non-binding resolution calling for local residents to keep the gas-guzzling vehicles off the city streets.
