What are you talking about? Your response ignores the most basic facts about physics (kinetic energy = (1/2)mv^2) and vehicular safety (speeding kills). And wha

  From a naïve perspective, you are right. However, the physics of falling off a moving vehicle is more complicated. You have the downward G forces under gravity which do not change with forward motion. The deceleration going forward is a function of how how much your skin/clothing adds friction. The curbstone/light posts scenarios do happen but ERs are not filled with those cases. It's the road rash cases. Three types of vehicles are singletrack like motorcycle, bicycle. Two wheels oriented on on the same line in the direction of travel. uses countersteering., Dual track, four wheels relatively light mass such as cars or small pickup trucks. Dual track heavyweight which may not be something are familiar with if you didn't grow up with trucks. It's a truck with two wheels in the front and four or eight wheels in the back. Usually require CDL to drive. All of these vehicles handled differently under the same road and weather conditions. If you train and build skills outside of your normal day-to-day usage, you'll build a cope with the unusual more easily and in this case, be a better driver. As for your speed kills simplification, it's momentum that kills. How fast you decelerate. Speed kills is for people who aren't knowledgeable of physics and how it applies to their day-to-day life.
