Appreciate your concerns, but gee, thats a very misleading use of data mate ... the accidents that involve other parties tend to be in populated areas ... exactly the places you wont be using your fuel bladder. - How many motorcycle dropping incidents or stacks in the simpson desert involve innocent 3rd parties?
As for how people approach fuel safety in the 3rd world, where people routinely smoke cigarettes while refuelling ... I think this is a red herring. |
