As Hank Green said…”no one tells you when you don’t die.”

There’s several people walking around Helsinki right now who would not be had they not made safety improvements…we just don’t know who they are.



Several people is an understatement. based on population, if it was the US there’s more than 160 people in Helsinki every year NOT killed. So, thousands of people.


Meanwhile, US is losing 100 a day for traffic related days. It's literally like a war


And likely 10x that number injured or 3-4x with permanent life-altering injuries.


Considering that it was ~8 US soldiers / day during the Vietnam war, it seems much worse
