But for fun? I don't think so :-(

Still, I think you miss the point that I and a few others are trying to get across, which is that safety is safety, right? So you have the irony of people rushing to buy marginally safer but not much fun new cars, while at the same time choosing to engage more in behaviors - cell phones, texting, overeating, etc - that produce a far greater decrease in their overall safety.

To steal a phrase, "God's an iron".
