the figures in detail

Kinetic energy is what kills you. The faster you go - the more of it there is. So speed does kill you.

there are many other



do you know what i cant be bothered

boring posts like this are slowly killing off the nation

Physics often is.

joe ,u know most accidents are cause be dozy childern and other pedestrians not looking were they going or messing about at the road side, very very few people get killed on the footpath, except by invalids schooters doing 8 mph on the pavement a lot of the others because there are 2 many cars and not enough roads,build more roads

 

[joe-90]

The statistics are:

Hit a person at 30mph and 80% will live.

Hit a person at 40mph and 80% will die.


Speed kills.

Could depend on where you were hit (on the body, not location )even at a slower speed.

 

[daytona]

The statistics are:

Hit a person at 30mph and 80% will live.

Hit a person at 40mph and 80% will die.


Speed kills.

so if a pedestrian steps in the road on a 40 limit,they then get run over and die,surely speed wont be a contributing factor.

stupidity kills,speed doesnt kill on its own as i said before.


anyway if we are talking about kinetic energy,speed doesnt kill.its the sudden stop

Did you know that most dozy children are caused by accidents

If you get hit at 80mph - you are in a body bag.

If you get hit at 5mph you don't even get a bruise.

Every time you double the speed kinetic energy is quadrupled.

So you see speed IS the only contributing factor (unless the wheels run over you)

joe i hit a tw## in a car at 6 mph as i posted late last year, he did not get a bruise, he got 5000k( no joke) pity it was not the 30 mph you quoted

 

[daytona]

so if a lorry hits my knee at 5 mph i wont get a bruise?

muppet,i could lose my leg.get out the car mate get on a bike.


as you say 80mph your in a body bag.70mph the speed limit.speed does not kill on its own in appropriate use of speed does,as i keep,saying.

pedestrian should not be on the road if a car is coming at any speed(unless at a recognised crossing)

speed on its own does not kill.

how do you block someone.

this **** really ****es me off
