Errr, yourself.  Every year how many people get out of their cars before
they start to burn, or before the flames get to intense.  I don't know
myself, but it is probably hundreds if not thousands.  Way, way more than
the number who burn to death.

In a flywheel crash, they have only milliseconds to get out of the car.
How many do you think will make it.
