Is that true? My understanding is lower hoods roll pedestrians over, whereas tall, solid hoods basically bring them to full speed immediately, doing a bunch of damage in the process.
- Swizec 4y agoYou can see in the video that it’s true. In their experiment, the lower hood, at same speed, makes the pedestrian hit the car 3 or 4 times instead of twice with the taller vehicle. Mind you the taller car was only about elbow height, not like some lifted trucks you see these days where the bumper roughly aligns with a person’s hips.
