If a pedestrian gets hit by a tall vehicle, where the bumper is at waist level or above, then the pedestrian goes under the vehicle. This is what causes most of the fatalities these days. Breaking your legs is bad, but getting run over is the end.

Then how is the Cybertruck legal on US roads? It's got sharp edges both front and rear

There's a reason it isn't legal in basically any other countries and this is a big part of it.

Well, for an about 1 meter tall obstacle (like a kid), some of these large SUV shapes have ~10 - 12 meters of a blind spot to spot this obstacle.

There is another small vehicle around, which usually has a lower stopping distance, and a smaller blind spot in front of the vehicle at around 7-9 meters under somewhat more adverse conditions than regular highway traffic. That's the Leopard 2 tank.

That vehicle also has less problems to find a parking spot.
