Last time I heard about it it was 50-60% fatality at 50km/h, but only 3% at 30km/h.

Maybe depends on which country the data comes from.

Anyway, 30km/h in the city is a given.

Also gonna depend on the car. The oversized lifted truck is gonna kill more reliably than a mid sized sedan

I think the info was from sweden, maybe volvos are more cushiony :-)

The country also factors into it because inertia depends on weight and increases exponentially by speed so if there are more trucks and SUVs, that rate goes up rapidly. The average car size also increases YOY, so it's continually getting more fatal to be hit by a car.
