And I also agree with Rob (3RRL), some people can kill themselves in a foam rubber room using a nerf hammer!

My guess would be that the type of accidents that kill people in cars and trucks are moving accidents. A kill switch would not do any good in preventing that kind of accident. Very few people fall out of a car while it is driving down the road and get run over by it. Most of them fly out of the car when it is stopped in a collision situation and the sudden deceleration or rotational movement throws them out of the car. Kill switches would not stop this problem from occuring
