Agreed. This is why I did not mention the word "safe" in any of my posts. There's really very little that is truly safe. This reminds me of a conversation concerning computer system stability. I was asked if it was possible to make a system completely secure and stable. My response was to tell them, "sure, just turn it off and unplug it". By that token being dead is being safe but of course the point's moot. The key here is risk-management which is something most of us do poorly in general and even more poorly when behind the wheel of an automobile. There are various disertations on this topic in aviation publications... an industry that has always promoted "safety".
