That’s a pretty significant difference — check out how quickly the fatality rates increase over 30mph or so:

Getting hit at 10mph still is going to suck but it’s a lot more likely to be broken bones and road-rash.

Even if it had just managed to slow from the 38 mph that it was clocked at to 30 mph would lower the probability of death from about 45% to 10%.
