Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid’s heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

    It’s not how easy they could kill him, it’s how easily they could not see him (for example, at a cross walk).

    As for killing, one of those trucks could easily do me in and I’m 6’0" 280lbs.

      Literally any car could kill you though. Shit, a motorcycle could do you in.

        Could kill me, yes. Easily? No. I would likely roll-over a car with it’s low hood, but a truck with it’s high, upright grill is likely to knock me down and then run over/drag me. It’s a similar situation with a motorcycle.
