@keeffyg@mastodon.social Unlikely. As I understand it, that increased risk is caused by the impact being above the pedestrian's center of mass. In a normal car, they hit below the center of mass, so the pedestrian just falls on the hood, minimizing injury. With an SUV or truck, the pedestrian is either run over or punted instead.
