Well that all depends on how fast the sedan that hit you was going as you minded your own business going through the green light. Either way, "Huh?" was probably the last word ever spoken.

Δv definitely increases the risk but plenty of life-ending and life-altering injuries occur at low speeds. The Leatt neck brace was invented after a doctor was unable to resuscitate an enduro rider who had a low-speed get-off and broke his neck.
