>>1949946I would rather not my last moments be spent in abject terror. 1G in the vertical direction without control your body has an instinctual response. So despite the greater likelihood of dying in car than in a plane, at least the experience of dying in car crash is not expected to be as bad - I mean you can go through an absolutely terrifying experience in a plane and live.
And yet I've gotten back into skiing regardless. I prefer chairlifts that don't run too high off the ground but enclosed vehicles can provide a greater sense of security even if its purely imagined. It boggles my mind there are people who ride without the bar entirely on chairs. Going beyond that I was shocked when I discovered the lift on Steamboat that has no bar at all.
The Swiss really have it figured out with the underground trains.
