Changes quite a bit with getting sideswiped while walking around the roadway, my #1 fear as a pedestrian. Looked up some statistics and this is more common than getting hit while crossing the street. Two more things to figure out though:

- How often is an accident while walking along the roadway getting sideswiped, instead of just a full-on crash

- The equivalent of being run over by a car doesn't happen when falling 30 feet. I wonder how much this accounts for getting hurt as a pedestrian.

This is just what I thought of, it is also a threat to cars, but that would be offset more by the velocity of the car that got hit than it would be by the velocity of a pedestrian. (For example, a car that is going 25mph and gets rear-ended by a car going 30mph)

Also there is often hitting the brakes before collision. So it will be slower sometimes.
