Look at people like Ayrton Senna. Died doing what he loved, but he didn't have to, and the changes that his death inspired made F1 racing much safer without sacrificing the hair-raising speed. He also probably would have lived if the sport's governing body had learned from a prior serious crash on the ultimately fatal corner.
Personally, I still feel bad about deaths like that.
- giantg2 4y agoDidn't Senna also have some religious thing that led home to believe he might die that day, but still chose to race? If it the safety upgrades were so easily identifiable, then why didn't people demand them sooner? The solutions implemented where only discovered/developed because of the crash. We can go back in time and see how many people would have been saved by seatbelts and airbags. I would guess there are additional future safety stuff that future people could look back on us the same way. It's just reality and I don't feel bad about that.
