I used to think the same way until I experienced a tank slapper on the track, that stopped on it's own (at least Im pretty sure it wasn't me [laugh] )

The truth is, there's no time to even think about trying to do something.  It's over as fast as it starts. 

In this case, physics was on his side, despite his best efforts [laugh]
