This is a very common psychological effect that we are more scared the more horrendous something is, instead of how likely it is to happen.
I wonder if there even statistics on the amount of crashes involving people with their feet on the dash. But in this thread it’s talked about it putting ones get in the dash is as reckless behavior, which is not really. There barely more risk of an accident putting your feet there.
There are statistics on where most accidents happen and it’s most often around the house.
You’re conflating the severity of the consequences to the likelihood of it happening.
The likelihood of getting in a crash is not higher if your feet are on the dash. The likelihood of your injuries being worse, way worse, is. That’s the point of plenty of plenty of precautions.
Do you think seatbelts aren’t necessary because they don’t make you less likely to crash?
