Two of the most dangerous cars were the original Austin Mini which was a simple box with an engine bolted on the front. The next nasties were the VW split screen and bay window vans. There was nothing but the front panel ahead of the driver and passenger.

Sheet metal or machined surfaces with a line of flats at 15 degree angles behave to flowing air like a continuous curve. It’s highly likely a folded front with 15 degree flats would be no worse for pedestrians than “normal” truck fronts. There’s also no solid lump of metal hidden by a thin sheet with nasty claw fastener.
