Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won't survive the hit I guess?

Okay I know this dumpster is made out of hard angles, but do they really expect us to believe that it sliced anything in half?

    I'm thinking sliced is probably not quite what happened...

    But... ya know... it sounds better than some asshat hit a deer in a CyberFuck® for like the 500th time.

    Kinda hard to describe just how soft a fleshy being is and how little of a sharp edge you need to cut something when the knife is travelling at 70mph

    While they didn't exactly anime style bisect the deer, I'm sure that it was pretty sliced up after being hit by a bin shaped wedge of poor design.

    Not to flog a dead deer but you seem to be describing getting hit by a truck.

    How they got away without the standard 10MPH crash bumpers on the thing remains a mystery, but I doubt it would have helped the poor deer.

    Maybe one of those cute little Asian deer could have ducked, but anything else is basically a pile of venison.

    The hood is literally a massive steel knife blade.

    I suddenly realize that I've never actually been close enough to, or paid attention to pictures of one of these stupid things to see that. I've only ever seen like 3 of them in the wild.
