During maneuvers in Germany a tank column was moving rapidly down a forested road . All of a sudden a tank departed the road and ran into a rather large tree that both stopped the tank and did some damage to both the tree and tank. Come to find out the sun flickering through the trees caused something called flicker vertigo which cause the driver to basically short circuit/black out even though his eyes were wide open.
Helicopter pilots were warned that there was such a thing as flicker vertigo (think sun shining through moving rotor blades), however the majority of people are not particularly susceptible to the effect.
Picture a strobe light flashing in a dark room and depending on the frequency you might start to feel weird, like shut that thing off !
Just thought I would throw that story into the mix ..

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
