The trick, I imagine is to determine just how often these things happen
under the conditions you're likely to encounter. Am I more likely to
encounter a flywheel failure or tire failure? Lightning strike? Life
obviously involves risk, we're all keenly aware of that now. Is there
any recordkeeping on such occurrences? It'd be interesting to know how
many flywheels fail in a given year vs the nimber of cars on the road.
