And neither did Schooley.
After it was in operation, and in consideration of the imperfect dummy testing, he then became concerned. But dummies don’t also react like a rider might. This wasn’t for sliding sleeping bodies down. The thing probably WAS designed for an aware rider.
And I’d just be curious — is there some move (however perverse) a rider could choose on the slide that might launch him to such a death?
There was just one death in 2 years — if I’ve finally nailed the stats down — and it was a doozie, not even close to the rest of the 13 accidents.
What if I’m cruising down the highway and slam my car into reverse? That’s not figured into highway safety statistics because no reasonable person would do it. How about a reasonable rider?
