Higher hoods are worse, not better, for pedestrians.

Higher hoods are worse, not better, for pedestrians.
- bobthepanda 2mo agoto put this in perspective; a lower hood will strike somewhere lower on the body like the legs, and bounce them off the hood (absorbing some impact) a higher hood will strike somewhere closer to the head and torso, causing substantially more damage, and cause you to go under and get crushed by the wheels, so at a minimum level damage is much more severe. and this is for adults. they're basically death sentences for shorter people and children.
