I can't believe you didn't pull a tendon with a stretch like this one.

I've come close to number 3. happening. Actually the worst vehicle thing that has happened to me was not on my small list ... a rear wheel came off when underway along with the axle connected to it. If I hadn't been going slow at the time it could have been all over.

Of course my list was not to be taken literally. The purpose of my list was to get some folks to begin to contemplate on the complexity that's going on all around them in the vehicle they're driving or riding in. The overall complexity is even more so when towing something. If certain things were to happen in those complex systems, then it's better that it happen at low(er) speeds.

We all are taking way to much for granted when traveling too fast in vehicles, IMHO.
