TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Car design and risk of pedestrian deaths JO - American journal of public health A1 - Robertson, Leon S. SP - 609 EP - 610 VL - 80 IS - 5 N2 - Fatal pedestrian injury rates by cars with relatively sharp front-corner designs were compared to such rates by cars of similar-size with relatively smooth front-corner designs. The relative risk of death by front-corner impact was 26 percent greater among the sharp-cornered cars. Pedestrian death rates from impact with other points on the cars and insurance claim frequencies among the studied cars were similar between the two sets of cars.
