If you're going to take strawman arguments to the extreme, might as well do it from both sides.
...why is increasing severity of injury as speed and mass of the vehicles involved increases a strawman argument ?
It's an easily documentable phenomenon, and I have attempted to do so in post # 17. The first study is not anecdotal, it has real world statistics.
Here's another study, for pedestrians and car occupants. Both of those demographics have been more extensively studied.
There might be a strawman here, but I think maybe you're the guy making it.
