In that moment before you die in a hole in the ground, will you find
yourself thinking "gee, I should never have taken up flying"?

When I have been involved in a car crash, I remember thinking, "O ****, this
is going to hurt!"

Really! Kinda funny, huh? Anyone else? What were your thoughts, in that
magical slowed down time, when everything was going wrong?

Oh, then, right after the "Oh ****" part, I though about the need to keep on
driving it until it stopped.

I've fortunately been in one only car accident in 31 years of driving.
I had a drunk pull out in front of me. My last thought as I swerved was
that I just might miss him. Unfortunately, he came out at full throttle
and I couldn't swerve quite fast enough in a minivan. In a Corvette,
I'd have missed him. So, I guess I never really thought I was going to
be in a crash until the impact and the air bags came out.

My main thoughts were about swerving and looking for traffic in the
opposing lane. Thankfully, there was none as I had the wheels turned
about 25 degrees at impact and they were then locked in that position.
My van went across the opposing lane and into the guard rail.
