To slowly descend into the depths of hell, with your buddies, some who are old hands... vs... exiting a bus in the real world into the seventh ring of hell; alone and unarmed.

I have personally seen a simple rear end fender benders result in PTSD claims. Scratch a PTSD claim and there will be compensation lurking in the background. (please I am sophisticated enough to recognize there are PTSD claims that are based upon real events. However, reality based claims are rare.)
