Well that's the point of the USDM bumper beam, it limits the monetary damage caused by low speed collisions.

Heavy does not always mean safer. Look at crash tests of SUV's from the 90's. Then look at a crash test of any Subaru in the last ten years. It's about how your crash structure is engineered and built, not about how much mass is between you and the object.
