If you're at a crosswalk, then you'll roll over the hood of a Camry or Mustang going 30mph.

If the same thing happens with a Escalade or F150, there's more mass and it's hitting dead on.

Bumper height is the factor there, not weight. A higher bumper is more likely to knock you down and under, not up and over.
