You gotta be kidding me.  They have to make a
confidence check to avoid loosing 1-2 confidence
levels.  I'm in favor of that.

Realistically, they would automatically dismount.

Think about it.  This is a GEV--it's sprinting from
one position to another 1-2m above the ground when
some missle slams into it.  So the passengers hear a
thunderous boom, the track is slammed like the fist of
God just slapped it, then it drops down and skids to a
halt.  If anyone has ever been in a major vehicle
accident, you know sort of what the sensation was
like.  Now imagine it's deliberately inflicted by
peopl who want to kill you.

By this time, I'm already leaping out the hatch, thank
you very much.	It's a tossup whether I'm scared to
death or incredibly pissed at whoever shot it (and
that's what the Confidence Check is all about), but
I'm definitely getting the hell out.
