>Even cars built for autobahn travel will not survive a major crash at that speed. One can't realistically ask people to only ever do what's safe. As a species we're built to operate at certain risk level. If you track the risks of business, leisure, travel, etc., through ages and cultures, they do show remarkable stability. As soon as better technology, organization, skills, and so on come along, people start going faster, harder, further, more intensely and such. You can make superficially reasonable arguments, but you can't change the fact that risk-taking is necessary for gains. This observation is built into our, humans, very nature, and everybody has a natural grasp of it.
