And exactly what are you basing this opinion off of?
IIHS doesn't agree with you at all on the CX-5 front:
http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/cx-5/2015
If you're talking about small overlap accidents, which no car designed a while back (Mazda 5 and CX-9) ever passed, as it's a new test:

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/cx-9
When it comes to normal types of accidents, you're most likely going to be perfectly fine.
Not a rolling death trap like you so proudly proclaimed.
How many people do you know who died in these three vehicles, by the way?
I've had by CX-5 for 29k miles, and I'm still alive, and kicking.

Using your chosen website for info. The Mazda certainly not much better than a death trap. lol.
The Mazda isn't as good as a Fiat 500.

How about this one..

How is the CX-5 a death trap compared to the Fiat 500?
How is the CX-5 a death trap compared to all of those you listed?
It rated Good in all tests (unlike the Fiat 500).
It's rated as a Top Safety Pick+, just like all the vehicles you listed (except the Fiat 500)
Since you allowed the Fiat 500's Poor score in the Overlap test as seemingly acceptable to you as a grade for a vehicle to then not be a death trap, obviously the CX-9 and the Mazda 5 don't qualify as death traps in that test type, either.
So, you're not really doing a good job trying to convince me that I would be safer in my wife's 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth instead of my 2014 Mazda CX-5.
