Who actually uses 100% throttle while going downhill?
No one...that's the whole point. He was doing roughly the speed limit, hit the hill, realised he was going too fast for the bend and accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake.
Are you suggesting that tiger got these 2 simple controls mixed up?
That's what the LA County Sherriff decided. It's a very common error, causes about 16,000 crashes per year in the USA.
Field investigations over the past five years by NHTSA and others using pre-crash pedal application data from vehicle event data recorders have determined that drivers who believed they were applying the brake in such incidents were often mistakenly applying the accelerator instead.
