What vehicles are actually safer?

If we're to take this chart to heart, we should all be driving minivans (safest for the drivers). Of course, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics"... this chart does not tell us the source of this data... first of all, what are we seeing? What do the numbers actually reference? Is this a chart of injuries, or deaths? Also, what is the risk to passengers (are we assume it's the same as the risk to drivers? Probably not true in vehicles without passenger air bags, etc.) and does the source of the data account for the different numbers of each vehicle on the road?

These are insurance company numbers and only consider drivers and deaths (not injuries or passengers.) The numbers are per one million registered vehicles per year. Low volume vehicles are not represented because not enough are sold to have reliable data (the Geo Metro is one example.) Several years and sometimes models can are combined due to being of the same manufacturers design and meeting the same safety regulations.

The links to the original data have been lost over several computer changes. Specifically, the web address of a download is not retained in the file properties in Mac OSX (and I didn't know that when I upgraded.)
