Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish

Technology@lemmy.world•75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are WhyEnglish
27 daysYou have it backwards. Larger vehicles of course have more energy, but pedestrians are too light for that to make a difference.
If you get hit by an oil tanker ship going ~1 kmh, that ship has orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than a car at highway speed, yet, unless theres a wall or something, the ship will merely push you harmlessly aside.
Its about the manner of delivery, not the vehicles energy.
Larger cars are more dangerous because they hit you higher up, where you have more vital organs.

27 daysI agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.

27 daysThats not how kinetic energy works, no pedestrian is heavy enough to stop any car, small or large.
