We are surrounded by things that can kill us in any number of ways should, the usually poorly maintained, safeguards fail and yet we only really get scared when the "danger" is something "new" or "rare" where the safeguards are actually inspected/maintained.

- ferongr 9y agoA thermal runway event would be way more gradual and there would be time to react. A rupturing tank would pepper you and everyone within 50 meters with sharpnel. Both are very rare events though but still
- Stranger43 9y agoBut thermal runaway is just the novel and rare way electricity kills. the fact that we are so used to handling lethal levels of electricity that we barely even register electrocution it as a possibility, is exactly the point i am trying to make. a battery capable of driving a 1kw electric engine is can probably also electrocute you.
