I guess it is true that you feel bullet proof at that age and an incident like this only intensifies that feeling.

Maybe she had a plan all along for an engine-out event in ASEL, so the event was more a matter of execution than terrified paralysis. When I was a student pilot I was spring-loaded to react to an engine-out on TO and knew which way to turn and where to land.

If your mom was Hillary, wrecking the minivan would be far worse.
