Beyond being pessimistic. They're lamenting the loss of a perfectly good opportunity to play victim.
You are unlucky to be in a crash. Now that you are in the throes of a crash you are lucky to make it out of the crash alive. >

Throes* >

Why can't we just manufacture self-driving cars made out of feather pillows? >

Or just use 22 pounds of bubble wrap and a leaf blower ‼️‼️ >

You're crazy though, homey. Crashes are going to occur regardless of safety measures. Although humans are fallible, you're less likely to die from a car crash than at any point in the past. You should rightfully thank scientists, physicists, material specialists, metallurgists, etc for the knowledge they've gained from decades of research. >

Nah, I was lucky.  When I was 13 my grandma rolled the car I was in four times.   None of the five of us had seat belts on as people just didnt wear sear belts back then (mid 80s).  I came out of it with a scrape on my knee.  No one was ejected which is what usually kills people in rollovers. My grandparents had bad bruising, I think I bounced off my grandfather multiple times, but otherwise we all lived.  Very lucky. >

i was lucky too. my ex boyfriend was racing someone and we hit a fence going 95 miles an hour & the fence went through the engine and the windshield and hit me in the face. no seatbelt. windows were down. i’m a small woman. i should’ve got ejected. my face was FUCKED. i came out with internal bleeding and almost lost my eye but i’m sitting here 5 months later. being alive is surreal. >

I’m so glad to hear you’re okay JFC. I’m also curious if this is the reason he’s an ex… >

obviously they’re unlucky for the situation to happen in the first place, but they’re lucky to not have died >

Yes, but surviving the crash wouldn't have even been a factor if they didn't get in the crash in the first place, hence, bad luck. >

I'm always mildly infuriated that I survive a car crash. >

Fr it always ruins my mornings >

Precisely >

Sure if you want a pessimistic outlook on everything
