I know of a young woman in the USA who was badly injured in an ordinary (nonmotorized, but ridden very fast and carelessly) bike versus pedestrian accident in a "walk your bike" zone. It messed up her knee permanently, required several surgeries by top specialists, and required in her being close to bedridden for several months. Of course there were high medical bills for her part of the cost, although fortunately she had good insurance. If only it had just resulted in an ambulance ride.....
