arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but
rather to wheelie-drop in, thoroughly used up, totally worn

We have kind of a arallel to that in the boat design world.
One of the most famous designers ever, LF Herreshoff, once
said that the perfectly designed boat, structurally

conditions ever exceeded the limits, every part of it would
simultaneously disintegrate. That's how I want to go ;-)

Medical opinion dictates that for death to occur there's
normally something seriously wrong 🙂
