i remember reading about how SUV design kills by throwing people under the car instead of pushing upwards and onto the car.
I had a car/bike collision once and I've found myself on the hood. I had bruises but i walked off. If the car was a SUV, i would have ended up in the hospital.
Makes sense. How the collision takes place determines the damage. Then there's the truck models that can't even see in front of them and wouldn't know they ran over someone.
I drive an MX-5 in the Midwest. I have to drive super aggressively just to avoid getting sideswiped by a goddamn monster truck. It's been close dozens of times and I've only had it a year and a half. It's often not the truck drivers fault (other than owning that giant hunk of shit).
