Try an emergency lane change in your Denali at 75 MPH and see how you feel about it's safety compared to an X5.

I agree. Just like when a race car crashes and everything around the safety cage literally rips apart or crumples. Sometimes the passengers who made out the best are in the cars that look the worst. You also have factors like how well the air bags perform and how your seats and seat belts react when stressed. Like someone already said, it is about avoiding accidents in the first place. I would gladly take the X5 over the G-class or Denali as far as brakes and handling are concerned.
