No one has ever died from reaching a maximum apeed. <br /> <br />It's not even the impact that kills. <br /> <br />It's the force of Slowing down that kills people. <br /> <br />Its the Distance over the rate of Slowing down. <br /> <br />So if you slow down, at a Rate of 60 MPH to 0 MPH over a 1 mile Stretch you will be better then fine. <br /> <br />If you slow down, at a rate of 60 MPH to 0 MPh over a 3 foot stretch, I.e 20 MPH per Foot, then you have little chance of surviving. <br /> <br />The only way this kind of slwoing down would occur is when you impact with somehting. <br /> <br />It's not the speed, it's not the impact, it's the force of slowing down that kills. <br /> <br />That's physics.
