This needs to be updated.

Getting hit by a pickup truck at 30 MPH is similar to getting hit by a Honda Civic at 120 MPH for kinetic energy.

That’s besides the fact that pickups have a much taller hood vs sedans so there are significantly higher rates of head injury.

Taller cars and trucks are more dangerous for pedestrians, according to crash data

I am not sure why the difference in energy related to vehicle mass is relevant here as humans have an insignificant amount of mass compared to either vehicle, so transferred energy should be roughly the same. However, the difference in how the collision plays out (pulled under Vs thrown above) should be a huge impact

The higher mass and force transmitted by a truck means the human will be thrown further and possible impact other objects at a higher speed
