Many years ago, a driver coming down Tennessee's Monteagle Mountain (if you've never been over Monteagle, it's about the hairiest stretch of Interstate this side of the Mississippi; all trucks are required to stop for a brake check before heading down the east-bound side) looked away for just a second to put a new cassette in his tape deck, and lost control.
He wound ran off the road (he was very near the bottom on the east-bound side, i believe), and wound up upside down, out of sight, in some brush. His seat-belt was jammed, and his right arm was broken.
He spent several hours like that before he was found.
The cassette he'd just inserted into his auto-reverse, continuous-play deck kept playing the whole time.

In a mere half-hour, though, this man may have suffered more ... and more horribly.
