A pedestrian protection automotive hinge includes a release assembly which includes a clip supported at one of the first and second ends and a stop pin supported by the other of the one of first and second members. The stop pin is captured in the clip in the normally closed position and the normally opened position. The stop pin is configured to break the clip in response to a collision input permitting the second member to pivot about a member pin relative to the first member to an opened hood collision position and the stop pin to move to a second end of a slot. An actuator is configured to engage the second member and move the second member upward relative to the first member in response to the collision input and break the clip.
