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

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.

I’m thinking sliced is probably not quite what happened…

This is what I was replying to.

Sliced is a pretty accurate descriptor, maybe "tenderized" if you only want it in a pile and not chunked.
