Did I call it the dead man's curve? I referred to it as the H/V curve, which is its proper name.
I don't think I'm getting carried away - manufacturers spend time and money establishing such parameters for our safety, so a statement like:
"I think it has been used to scare people into not going in there"
is not appropriate.
I also didn't say "don't go in there", I said "there's plenty wrong with it", in the light of the statement above. I just didn't think it was getting the respect it deserves.
