I'm not saying the kill switch would be a wise move either but I am suggesting in pure panic mode that might be something a person would do. I used to know how to handle a brake failure but brakes are so much more reliable now that I'm not sure I could deal with that in pure panic mode either. When you KNOW you are supposed to start slowing down and ARE NOT, most will go into pure panic mode. A clutch pulled in should start slowing you down, so what is done in the next critical seconds is key. And what do people actually practice using? The kill switch. Again, not that it should be used but that it's what MIGHT be used. People routinely say, "I had to lay her down" when talking about a crash they were in. Which means they gave up and didn't apply the brakes properly or to the maximum. So I suggest the kill switch might be used here too. As wrong as that might be. That's all I was saying.
