I think safety tends to be more determined by the average age of the
riders involved than the bike itself.  As it is, owners of cruisers
tend to be older.

There have been reports of a recent rise in accidents among the older,
cruiser-riding crowd lately.  Probably a combination of mid-life
crisis and first bike (and a big one at that).  If you put those two
factors aside, then I think it's still generally true what you've
said.
