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

Hate the CT, but impacting a large animal at speed isn't going to end well for anyone involved, regardless of how safe the vehicle is.

If I'm not mistaken, I think I remember that Swedish Volvos were specifically engineered to be able to crash into a Moose and save the car driver. I think they have a special Moose crash simulation / test dummy.

That's hilarious and I had never heard of it, sure enough, Volvo has a factory moose crash-test dummy.
