For the second time: why do people get all mangled up and die in car accidents then? hmmm? Clearly it doesn't have anything to do with the amount of kenitic energy available, so what the hell is killing them? Hmm?
What other factors. Name 6. hell, name two -- hell, Name one that's not related first order somehow to the Ke term in collisions.
c'mon, rocket scientist -- i quantified a first order approximation of the difference between bike and car accidents. All i hear from you is a collection of half-butted mealy mouthed "it's not the same" whinging. No poo, it's not the "same" sherlock -- a bike is not a Navigator.
So you tell me -- what are the ameliorating differences you keep hinting at but are heretofore incapable of articulating, and parameterize and quantify them. 'splain to us why my statment "1-500th the energy in a bikebike vs carcar" is an invalid observation. Account for the horrible mangling of bodies and rest in car accidents vs. skinned knees and the occaisonal broken collarbone in bike accidents. Otherwise you're just spouting bullpoo..
Or maybe you should just have a smoke and drive your camaro around the block a few times.
