Not sure where the actual numbers came from that they posted, but pedestrian fatalities correlates well with “hood height” of the vehicle. I’m referencing from memory here and would have to go digging for the actual source. The “hood height” could be slightly ambiguous but was taken as the point where the hood basically turns. Think about a 90’s minivan and it’s pretty low, a sedan is also low, a new gmc sierra or whatever is not so low.
This is absolute bullshit, I am just over 6’ and there is not a stock car on the market in America that I cannot see over the hood.
Yeah it’s maybe cab height? Not hood height for sure haha.

The trick is to put it in a lift before you measure
