Not nearly as much as that poor lady. I'm sure if some guy ran over your loved one due to poor driving technique, you would be thinking about the poor driver as well.
Anyways, I think we have clarified clearly where our compassions are and there is no point discussing it any more.
On a much more important note, you said....

I have never heard of this before. Is there some sort of benefit to it?
It sounds like an incident waiting to happen.

A little bit of paranoia can go a long way in aviation.
