Another reason to doubt the safety of large SUV's.
We're now at the 10th person who has been ran over by an SUV or pickup in the neighborhood since I moved here in 2011. 5 of them died from the accident. People keep running over other people, including their own kids.
Doing some research it was a lot safer to be a pedestrian back in 2009. Your chances of being ran over as a pedestrian back then was 1.3 in 100,000. Now it's up to 2.2 (at least it was in 2021, if the trend has continued it is now higher.)

The reason why more people are getting ran over is that SUV's and pickups have become more popular. Statistically you are 80% more likely to run over someone walking along the road in a Pickup, and 61% more likely in an SUV, than in a car.
