So ? It is presumably suppose to be representative of a class of speed
related accident. The fact that some particular film clip is staged
doesn't mean that probability and severity of accident are unrelated to
speed.

Righto, so you think that Bruce Willis can jump off a building with a
fire hose around his waist, fall ten stories then kick in a glass window
with his bare feet? After all, I've seen that on the TV as well.

Reality <----------> Fantasy

The clip you are emoting about is 100% to the right of that diagram.

Right.. and so do you think that *everything* you see recreated for TV
must be impossible? Or do you accept that the scenario presented in
the accident is *far* more possible than the one presented in Die
Hard?
