Unhappy Youtube videos of car crashes

I do not have a morbid fascination watching other people's demise. However I do see the educational benefit of seeing how some people have met their untimely death and believe all learner drivers should watch these to see how easily one can find themselves in life and death situations. Does anybody agree that this would be beneficial?

I suppose the best way to answer that is: would you be comfortable with many other people watching someone from your family dieing on video? Not for me...

as per super but also how often?
most will likely forget it in 6months.
then add in the fact that you show the same thing over and over you get used to it so the video will need to be refreshed.

being young means your immortal and a belief of it won't happen to me.

You may not always find such videos on YouTube.

As an example:
Car Hits Bus Head On Causing Fatality

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=188_1433547918

The driver later died in hospital

Just be aware that liveleak contains video footage that is generally not suitable for media viewed by the general public.
Generally the site shows footage of insurgents being killed by coalition forces.

YouTube is great because it provides us with countless examples of "what not to do". Humans are social creatures, we learn from one another but experience is always the best teacher. A lot of people are convinced they're invincible and nothing can stop them until that notion is proven wrong... it's important to note that many do not get second chances so learn all you can from the mistakes of others.

The problem is when we live our lives constantly thinking of "what could happen?", we forget how to live and start questioning: 'why fly if the plane could crash', 'why get out of bed in the morning if you could get hit by a bus or speeding car crossing the street', 'why get married if there's a risk of divorce', 'why have kids if they could be born retarded or sick or end up in jail', then finally, 'why bother living at all if I could get sick or die tomorrow'. Reality is cruel.

True but we can still learn from the mistakes of others without becoming nervous wrecks.

I have a vague recollection of having a visit from HWP and Ambos in the final years of high school, where we were shown pictures of actual crashes attended (no bodies though), and they spoke about the circumstances of the accident and then having to go inform the families.
