I have many, many years on bikes, and many tens of thousands of miles on them mostly on roads. My opinion is not that a bike is any more dangerous when in a car accident, than a segway. I have no stats other than my own personal experience.
I was once hit head on by a car in the wrong travel lane (he was passing another car) and I was high enough on my Italia that I was able effectively vault over the car. I got hurt pretty bad, but head on at 50 mph (his speed and mine) and I survived it. My bike not only went thru his radiator, but into the block of his engine.
I cannot imagine that same accident being survivable on a segway.

You're right, it's not proven, it's just from my experience.
I've been hurt badly on both.
You're lucky to be alive, also, that's one tank of a bicycle!
