Yes, please always wear highly visible clothing, flashers, reflective strips or the like when walking at night. Personally, I do not use ear buds as I want to hear vehicles approaching me (might be hard to hear an approaching electric golf cart though).
BTW, more colorful clothing than he was wearing would not have saved Marty, the man who the woman backed her car over in broad daylight in the movie. I think he was a tad negligent himself, listening and dancing to loud music piped through ear buds as well as apparently not remaining visually observant for nearby vehicular movement as he frolicked down the middle of the street. The clearly narcissistic woman was oblivious to anything but her cell phone conversation and grossly negligent backing her car as well as pretty gross in general.
I love that movie and have watched it several times.
