These things are not remotely comparable. You're 5x more likely to kill someone in an urban area because more people live there (in fact, well above 5x more, so...) > being killed by a light truck compared to a car is only 1.45 (i.e. 45% greater) "Only"? "You're 50% more likely to die if a light truck hits you than a car, that's "only" a bit more!" > and is 0.96 for a heavy truck ... buses have a relative risk of 7.97 People tend to bounce off of heavy trucks, for better or worse.
