Not too sure about that. My commute home is downhill on a slight grade, and with a tailwind I can ride at about 25mph - the road itself has a speed of 35mph, so a closing speed of 10 vs 25 mph. Yes, I'm screwed if I get hit by a car, but I'm also screwed if I hit a pedestrian. Plus in that case, the pedestrian is screwed too.
