There’s a big risk of spine injuries, and a rear end collision might not activate the airbag. Not a simple trade off.

- bumby 5y agoI’m not saying there’s no risk. I’m saying the risk is lower. The same hazards you mentioned are also present to the pedestrian, plus the risk of TBI or death. The way this analysis is done is that a hazard gets assigned a risk score based severity x probability. I’m saying the severity of hitting a pedestrian is higher. Put another way, if you had to choose between being struck as a pedestrian or rear ended as a driver, which would you choose?
