If one dies because ignoring all warnings how not to drive with spacesaver tire, like going full speed on highway or driving too long with it or pushing on grip boundaries like as on normal tires .. it's due sheer stupidity and lack of common sense and being Darwin award candidate. And not as if driving in similar way with punctured runflats or repaired with foam gunk tires is much safer. Sane people should have no problems using spacesaver tires in intended way, and from miscellaneous compromises it seems best all-rounder for reasons i mentioned before. Obviously, full-size spare would be much better option for morons ignoring warnings purely driving wise, but caveats of lugging extra weight and robbing from trunk space for that one puncture per year or two offsets gain.
