If your brakes fail any speed is faster than you can stop LoL
Oh shit would probably give me a coronary
Brakes have two backups and, well, don't fail without warning signs. If your brakes are gonna fail, you should know it 'cause of how they brakes have been responding.
And, yeah, if I say 'oh shit' we're going for a ride. It means I've lost control. It doesn't mean we'll crash, it just means that I no longer have 100% control. We might not crash. In fact, statistically speaking we're unlikely to crash.
But, if you hear 'oh shit' you might want to brace for impact.
Also, I would never fake it. I'd never say 'oh shit' and then go into a controlled skid to scare my passengers. That'd just be mean and would kinda piss me off if someone did it to me.
That would be mean to say 'oh shit' just to scare people. And I think relaxing for impact is safer than bracing, isn't it?
I'd think so, but never dug too deep into it.
I figure airplanes are the biggest crash we humans will be involved with. When you're going to crash in an airplane they have you brace yourself for impact.
So, if they suggest this as a good idea, I might as well suggest it.
I wonder if limp depends on total limpness. I know they say that's why drunks get hurt less than sober people - but I've never checked the data.
That seems like something I should know...
