This really sucks: a young woman involved in a relatively minor car accident was killed when her unsecured laptop crashed into the back of her head. Words from her mother: "The lap top [sic] was in a knapsack and hung over the back seat and swung up like a slingshot."

Wow, I'm keeping my laptop in the trunk from now on!

Well, in that case, the laptop didn't really kill her, the bag did. The notebook was just deadweight.
