4·1 month agoYou 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.

7·1 month agoI agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.

I disagree, lots of things are much cheaper and worse.
Clothes are much cheaper and far worse. Power tools are generally a lot cheaper bit also built to break.
Houses are somehow more expensive AND lower quality though.
