A pedestrian encounter with any vehicle is likely to have the same result.

  The design of the vehicle has a significant impact [sorry!] on the pedestrian's chances. All those sharp edges can't be good.

    Yeah but the glass breaks really easily so it should help disperse the impact.

    Somehow I think the mass and speed is far more significant than a pointy bumper.
    • romwell 7y ago
      Mass probably is only significant because it makes the stopping distance longer.

        Mass also adds to the force of the impact

    The overall height, especially of the hood is also really important for the pedestrian's chances. if a sedan hits you, ideally you can roll over the top. if a truck or suv with enough size hits you, you go under it.

  No SUV's and trucks are wildly more dangerous to pedestrians.
