Many people think sharks are dangerous, but shark attacks are accidents in which sharks mistake humans for seals. Sharks are actually in more danger from us.

I'm not sure I'd say it's completely harmless, but isn't pumping gas while the car is running generally not a huge risk?

Why would anyone do that outside of a formula one race?

[–] notun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Situations where you can't really turn your engine off. Like I once had my car battery die and after a friend jumpstarted it, I was gonna go drive around for a bit to charge the battery but then I realized my gas tank was completely empty. So I had to fill it up while it was running.

A rare situation for sure, but it's at least one reason.

FYI Formula 1 banned refueling during races in 2010.

Even F1 doesn’t take on any fuel during pit stops these days.
