I promised myself that I wasn't going to get all preachy when I saw this thread, but...
My daughter lives just west of KC with her husband and my grandson.
In 1996 after two aircraft
collided doing a demonstration they laid out the wreckage in the hangar for months. I had to walk past the blood smeared cockpit several times a day. I knew the people that had died and been damaged. It was sobering and humbling.
Often life and death can be separated by an inch, or a fraction of a second. A lot of unexpected things can happen on a public highway. For example U.S. highways are littered with tire debris. A 6" chunk can do some serious damage at 75 mph and, no doubt, kill you at 130.
Here are 2 Porsches. I don't know the circumstances and got these images from an auction site. I'd guess the red one was at normal highway speed. The white one probably >100 mph.
*The biohazard may include urine from the passenger.
I won't bore you further with stories from my work as an EMS pilot.
