But we have no idea what went on before the cameras were turned on (remember NBC's squibs that "proved" some truck had problem with side impacts). Also getting ones foot run over doesn't mean too much, I had mine runover by a Chevy Impala once, given how air filled wheels work very little of the ton plus of the car's weight went onto my foot and what did compressed it pretty evenly which really doesn't do much damage (try the old egg squeeze test), it stung for a couple minutes. Notice they didn't have anybody stand in front of one going full tilt, the human body going 12 MPH is a lot of impact force.

I also notice the shipping price has gone up dramatically. Last year when they "broke" it was only supposed to be 3Gs, now they're 5Gs, 9 for the "full featured" one.

Well, of course, it would hurt you, probably seriously, if one ran into you. Heck, a tricycle powered by a toddler can hurt you if caught off guard. And true enough we don't know "what went on before the cameras were turned on" but I don't think they had anything to gain, they weren't selling them. Robin Roberts, a former athlete, seemed to have lots of fun with it and the same for Diane Sawyer.. Sawyer is certainly not an athlete or mechanically inclined, in fact, she is something of a klutz. They were just having a good time with it and asked some of the right questions. For instance they wanted to know when or if the price would be coming down. LOL
