Pfft, you don't need to be going that fast. My wife was pushed off her bike at perhaps 5 km/h and fractured her shoulder. Took nearly a year of healing and revalidation.

That would be an argument for wearing protection when walking as well, you know?

  Kind of ... no, not really. Walking at 2mph with both feet on the ground, very different from balanced on a frame of pipework rolling at 5mph. Much more likely to 'land on your feet' when walking.

    Parent poster wrote 5 km/h which is really the speed of most walkers not 5 mph. I'm sure that if you get hit by a car that's going fast enough it won't really matter if you have a bike, a skateboard, or just the soles of your shoes…

      Yeah but you don't have to hit a car to take a dive on your bike. Just stopping at a light you can go over.
