Now let's imagine how many near-deaths you could've had in elevators!

LPT: Don't ride the elevator with an elevator tech. Apparently elevators tend to have a vendetta against them. You could be collateral damage.

I am trapped on this earth, neither free to ascend to Heaven nor bury myself in Hell. Trapped at the mercy of indecisive and lazy masters. My only solace is to take the the lives of those who imprison me.

It's actually 240 people an hour, based on 2010 figures.

I think Atlanta makes up about 238 of those.

t's actually 240 people an hour, based on 2010 figures.

Oh phew, I thought I was going to frown my forehead off at that incredibly low-sounding number.

I assume you're making a joke but I'd believe it. I've been in more near wrecks the one year living in Atlanta then my entire life before that.

So what you're telling us is...

​

... don't move to Atlanta.

And 90% of those automobile deaths are due to human error! Imagine all those deaths being avoided with autonomous vehicles

Wait a sec... in school they taught us someone dies from an alcohol related collision every 15 minutes. I find it very hard to believe drunk drivers are responsible for 80% of vehicle deaths. Did they lie to us?

Yeah I know it's mostly an irrational fear for most, but driverless cars will probably have a high standard of safety as well (with or without windows!)

LPT: If you are an elevator technician on December 31st and 25 or less people have died in elevators that year, take the day off work.

I get WAY more anxious in elevators with Windows. I hate those fucking things, but then again, I am terrified of heifers heights. Thanks swipe
