EL LOCO DIABLO

Though my initial reaction to this thread was to instantly retort to the claim, if i were to slightly pause for a bit i would say the accidents that i had to experience could have been avoided had i made a small and largely unnoticeable change at the time, the outcome would have been different.....or would it? See that's where the equation blows out of proportion, take any accident under the scanner and no matter how many times you repeat it, you'll still never know the outcome, the ratio between the variables you control to the ones you cant simply won't match at all. The largely cliched chaos theory wouldn't be out of place here, the culmination of events start from a very tiny action that slowly generates momentum, snowballing till the energy it releases explodes upon itself. And that's why all manufacturers research vehicles or for that matter anything upon it's destruction.

Though i understand that under this context people still don't control variables that they can and should, like proper driving manner and maintenance of the vehicles, even then the accidents caused by these factors would only contribute to the overall figure caused by accidents, never actually be the figure itself. But if we go a little deeper, we find that the major killer and cause for accidents would be a something so small, that i might be even laughed upon for saying it. It's loss of concentration that ranks the highest among all the other causes, a momentary lapse even a time interval of less than two seconds can cause a mile long pile-up. Sleep and fatigue is such a dangerous thing, that the US has stated it the cause for most deaths occurred on road.
