Baiting? Maybe you just do not like reality other than what you see thru your eyes so you project instead.

Ever been on a country road when you come to a four way intersection that a snow plow has just com across? My guess is no or you would not have said what you did.

Ever been hit broad side by a deer that jumped out of a ditch that had 4 feet of weeds? ( environmentalists disallowing mowing for a time in the spring)

Ever hit a nasty pot hole in rural america? Heck ever even driven there?

Your comment of me baiting is dismissed as the drivel it is becasue many things happen in a vehicle that can rock a person around that have absolutely zero to do with off roading.

(((Not to mention after an initial collision that does not bring both vehicles to a complete stop.))

Yes on all counts except the being hit by an animal. I even went into a two wheel drift on a freeway interchange (going from northbound 167 to northbound I-405) almost sideways and kept from overcorrecting myself into a spinout. This was in a Plymouth Reliant with bench seats and I was NOT wearing a seatbelt.

But then, your argument is like the old “what about abortion in cases of rape or incest” red herring. Fact is, merely your assumption that I had not encountered the things on your list points out the rarity of such things.

I actually learned to drive, at age 14, on a washboard country road in a 1954 ford pickup with slippery flat vinyl bench seat. Never lost control.

Now in my Chrysler 300 snuggled into bench seats, if it was violent enough to cause me to fly out of seat would indicate my wheels were not in contact with the ground.

But I ramble. The abortion red herring analogy was enough…
