I haven't personally seen it either, though sounds like I'm less experienced than you.

I've heard of a few though. In 2019 a bay area software engineer who by all accounts was a good guy, maybe somebody here knows him, attacked some people on a trip. He also stole some vehicles, drove over some people, and was shot by law enforcement trying to stop him. He was paralyzed.

That's an extreme oddball case or freak accident.

I think one needs to take in such a story and not sensationalize it or overstate danger, or get yourself scared, but also, you do need to know that things can go out of control for some people.
