I think it would be a 10% chance they would make it through safely. What do you think?
(As I write out that scenario, I sincerely can't believe any one could possibly believe this would actually happen. Utterly absurd.)
Come down to Florida and see for yourself first hand. I wish that I have a GoPro so that I could shoot footage of what I see. But I'm sure that you'd still come up with some argument about how I wasn't really recording what was actually happening. So come on down and see for yourself. And I never said that everyone who does this is getting hit or killed just that here in Florida we have about the worst track record in the nation.
