Seriously, having been hit by a fairly rounded Impreza at low speed that still did significant damage, I'm shivering at the thought of what these edges would do to soft tissue and bone in the same conditions. The pressure at the contact points would be dramatically higher.

Sorry about that.

Holy shit you were the driver?

Well, I drive an Impreza and I did hit a pedestrian at low speed several years ago, so probably.
