How does a cyclist cause danger to a motorist?

By flying head-first through the window of a car

Presumably this was a side window and it might have been open too?

It was the back window and it wasn't openable (or it was, but it wasn't
closeable!). The cyclist could not remove his head without the assistance
of the driver.

Recently, in Poole IIRC, a cyclist went into the back of a van that had
stopped at a pedestrian crossing with such force he died - what might have
happened to the pedestrians if the van hadn't protected them?

Probably very little. Probably some minor injuries, if the cyclist
had struck any of them.

So a hansen ploughing into a group of old age pensioners at a speed fast
enough to kill the hansen if he hits another vehicle is only going to
cause a few minor injuries. That's all right then.
