Ouch ... You wonder how many more would have survived if the peckerheads would have left their bags behind!?

Situations like these are why I tell my family that travel is NOT done in flip flops or high heels. You have to be able to be quick on your feet to get yourself out of an emergency.

Only mildly related, but once I saw a guy in flip flops running down the center divide of I5 after his small dog that had jumped out of the car after a fender bender level accident. He was just about as fast as the dog flip flopping after it. Any pair of real shoes and he would have caught it just fine ... I use that visual to date to encourage real shoes to be worn during road travel as well ...
