How about giving it another shot.  Here's a concrete example:  Which is
worse:  hitting a 1,000 pound moose standing on a roadway when traveling 20
MPH vs. 60 MPH?  (As an aside, moose are a big problem on New Hampshire
highways.  Most people don't realize how dangerous they can be when hitting
them at Interstate speeds.)

Truth is, speed doesn't kill - a difference in speed does.

height
off road, weather, road conditions, driver experience, distractions, etc.
Absolute speed is one important factor.  It's called physics:

Actually, I think physics proves my point. Perhaps you're not
understanding what I'm saying - or I need to articulate it better...
