{{quote|''"If a train traveling at 250 miles per hour is stopped dead, the passengers will continue to travel at that speed (that is, double their terminal velocity). In other words, unless you stop the train slowly, [[Not the Fall That Kills You|they will have more chance of surviving if you had dropped them out of an airplane without a parachute]]. A safe stopping distance is several miles."''|''[[The Superhero Handbook]]'' by Michael Powell}}
