What are the underlying causes of the increasing car hood height trend in Europe, and how does this relate to the rise in SUV popularity?

Higher hoods, particularly in SUVs and pickup trucks, increase the risk of severe pedestrian injuries in accidents. Collisions often impact vital organs, increasing the chance of victims being thrown forward and run over, unlike smaller vehicles where pedestrians tend to fall and roll to the side. A Belgian study shows a 25% increase in pedestrian fatalities when hood height increases from 80 to 90 centimeters.
