What is more important? What causes the accident or the chances of survival in an accident?

F1 bosses have always been trying to slow down the cars on grounds of safety. Why have they been doing this? Because driving 10mph faster isn't really going to affect Coulthard from turning into you, or Hamilton running his tyres to extinction then blowing out.

No, they are trying to slow down the cars so that the crash happens at a LOWER SPEED. Thus more chance of survival! They don't really give a stuff what **causes** the accident, only what happens during it!

The same applies on the road. 8% of accidents are caused by speed, ok, obviously lower speed helps in these cases. For the other 92% of accidents lower speed also helps because it will reduce the force of the impact, making injurys and damage less. So lower speed actually would help in 100% of cases (unless of course the accident involves you driving into quick-sand or off some kind of cliff - the speed driven into those situations probably wouldn't make much difference.)
