It's a common metaphor.
There is also a risk measure explicitly based on this concept:

But I guess that there are not that many buses there in US so a car crash may be more appropriate.

- hitekker 9y agoOh, it is technically correct. The issue is that when comforting the depressed, violent or overly negative imagery may distract from the point being made. The metaphor is perfectly unnoticeable in everyday contexts, but in his state, careless edges of arguments must feel awfully pointy. I learned that the hard way when trying to support a friend down on his luck.
