Yes it does, and things are definitely more dangerous now. Per capita vehicle miles travelled has gone up, and of course cars (SUVs) keep getting bigger and higher.

The longer I've been a parent the more I think America is a Moloch-worshipping, child-killing cult. Even the ever-increasing prevalence of giant SUVs is evidence of how little we care about children.
