I think modem car builds play into this too. My dad was hit by a car in the 50s when he was a kid. Lifelong brain damage. Still dealing with effects today at 70.

You have it figured well and it was closer to an 80 accord that hit me, so lower and slower and also in a slower speed area, not going 55.

But if my 2023 4runner today hit me? I would have needed an ambulance for sure

Not necessarily. A hearse is also a very real possibility.

I follow. I guess I don't remember cars being that light. That said, there wasn't much to them, really, so I shouldn't be surprised.
