Seeing "death trap" as thumbnail word with Elon Musk's face on it.
Well, yes.
But I am thinking, if the distance between accelerating ring,
and the colliding ring is high,
and the passengers are in the center of the accelerating ring, as a ship.
Then maybe the explosion can be used as a force.
How well the colliding ring handles that without damage is another issue altogether.
Nor if it will create a respectful speed due to that explosion, no idea.
But could be used in some way.
