The blog is not, by my reading, arguing that SUVs are hitting more people. It lists quite specific reasons that the impacts are worse when hit by an SUV etc than by a smaller car.
- daxuak 5y agoIt is strongly implied in figure1, figure 3, and explictly expressed ("You don’t need a PhD to see why trucks and SUVs are more likely to kill people walking: They’re taller, have worse visibility, and are more likely to produce head/neck injuries than leg injuries."). The cited reference did not directly support the visibility argumentt or the specific injury types (although I do not doubt that they could be true).
