To be fair, people with disabilities walk a very different life than able-bodied people do. For the mobility impaired, every trip requires careful forethought and planning. The mobility impaired are far less likely to hop in a car, drive into the high Rockies, without a very, very solid plan.
The sentence holds true even if you remove "mobility-impaired." Healthy, active people have died after breaking down in places they shouldn't have been driving, like the Death Valley Germans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Valley_Germans
We were discussing the dangers of bad GPS. Person A said bad GPS could kill disabled people, person B said a disabled person wouldn't get into that situation, I'm saying that's true, but bad GPS can kill able-bodied people as well.
The point for me is that bad GPS is a potential threat to human life; exactly which humans are in most danger is an interesting side discussion.
