So are we really contemplating pickup trucks as more safe in a pedestrian collision because they have crumple zones?

When a truck hits a pedestrian and the front of the truck crumples, is that pedestrian okay?

There's a difference between a shattered pelvis and being impaled because someone thought sharp corners are cool and safety standards are oppression.
