Facts disagree with you. Humans have about an 80% chance of surviving a 25 mph impact.

The article you linked doesn't say what you claim it says. It discusses a 25moh car hitting a pedestrian, which is wildly different from a true 25mph impact in general, because most pedestrians will try to dodge.
And do you have some data for the “most pedestrians will try to dodge” claim?
