I kind'a don't believe that the anti lock brakes cause wreckless


Reworded it sounds like you misunderstood to begin with

It's a high profile example look it up if you care

the point stands and I stand by it
the safety features that are perceived as eliminating all or
most all the dangers will be tested by the operators
that's human nature


whether that's breaking way later in the case of cars or flying
in weather you'd have avoided without your ballistic chute or
being less mindful of where the blade is on the table saw with
flesh detection
it will be tested

I like ABS brakes and they are a really good idea
I like the flesh detection but don't want it but it's a good idea
and will get better but i still think operators should learn
the basics of the tools and materials and know that safety features
don't replace the need for being mindful of high speed steel



for another case of safety features with lots of data look at NFL
injuries went way up after they started using helmets, etc.
in other words the operators tested the limits
many have paid the price

long winded point is just that safety features can blur the fundamentals
