If you really think that the risk is low after being hit at up to 10 mph, how about we run our Leafs into you at 9 or 10 mph a bunch of times, including making sure you end up under the wheels a few times?arnis wrote: As we know kinetic energy formula is exponential we can estimate that probability of any injury
at speeds up to 10mph. And that is way below 20%.
I agree, "Correlation does not imply causation" because even if the injury rate is low, it says nothing about the circumstances that could have prevented the injury. So even if only a few people are being hit by EV a week because they don't hear the vehicle does not mean it is not worth the time and research to prevent those few people from being injured in the first place, even if minor by whatever standards they use to define what a minor injury is.cwerdna wrote:If you really think that the risk is low after being hit at up to 10 mph, how about we run our Leafs into you at 9 or 10 mph a bunch of times, including making sure you end up under the wheels a few times?arnis wrote: As we know kinetic energy formula is exponential we can estimate that probability of any injury

You will most definitely sustain serious injuries.

Connectors and terminals come in around $15 and the factory switch is around $15 as well. Wire, heat shrink and strain relief will be another $10, but keep in mind I'm using all mil-spec material: Tefzel wiring, DR-25 heat shrink, and SCL for strain relief. Anyone doing it themselves can obviously use whatever material they would like. It takes an hour to build a harness, add another 15-20 minutes if you want it labeled with 3:1 heat shrink.
