Hearing a lot made of this pedestrian problem. Are trucks more likely to hit pedestrians? I was not aware of big vehicles being more dangerous. Personally, I don’t want to get hit by any motorized metal no matter the size.
- jorvi 7y agoNot necessarily, but hitting your body and especially your head on a sharp edge is much more dangerous than a flat or curved surface. Compare hitting your head on the edge (or even corner!) of a table vs. hitting it on the bottom of the table.
- smt88 7y agoBig vehicles are more dangerous, obviously. They have more mass, so they hit people with more force. https://www.curbed.com/2018/9/27/17909270/pedestrian-deaths-suv-car-design https://www.curbed.com/2018/9/27/17909270/pedestrian-deaths-...
