If you ran into a moose with a car it is 50-50 who would die and who would live. They are BIG... an adult male can weigh up to 1,500 lbs. I once worked with a woman who was riding a motorcycle (large road bike) with her husband in northern Minnesota when they hit a Moose. They both died instantly, the Moose walked away.

It's one thing to encounter Big Foot in Times Square and another to stumble upon him in the woods in the middle of nowhere.
