They are not protected by airbags or seat belts, which further reduces injury risk in a car accident. Approximately 110,000 pedestrians are injured every year in the U.S. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,227 pedestrians were killed in 2018, which had a 250 increase from the previous year.

California is one of the most dangerous places for pedestrians. California has a pedestrian fatality rate that is 25% higher than the national average. In 2018 alone, approximately 893 pedestrians were killed, and more than 14,000 were injured in California. Pedestrian accidents are typically caused by distracted driving, speeding, intoxicated drivers, and drivers failing to yield the right way.
