Danger Units and Stopping Distances Explain Speed Risks
Under average conditions stopping distance grows with speed squared. A danger unit equals 35 to 40 feet. at 25 mph a car can stop within one unit, at 30 mph four units are needed, and at 45 to 50 mph the risk rises with nearly one to two extra units per jump. Higher speeds sharply increase rollover risk and collision severity as illustrated by Cobb's Bonneville run, where exceeding 300 mph would multiply energy and danger units, risking total destruction if a solid wall were struck.
