I've responded to accidents at much slower speeds with fatalities. **************** happens sometimes. I don't understand why a whole bunch of Porsche owners think Porsche was irresponsible to make and sell this car? I'm quite sure motorcycle accidents are far more prevalent than exotic car accidents. I think people just start to think they are invincible and consequently, take risks that they can't control.
I tend to agree. Whatever happened to the fundamental concept of: If you do dumb, highly risky stuff, be prepared to pay dearly for the pretty predictable consequences. And I hate to say it (he seemed like he was a genuinely good guy), but this can even be applied to Walker. You know if he had said, "SLOW DOWN, this is dangerous!" the driver would have done so.
