Actually, it's not something that comes about through a rational, thought out decision. It comes down to instinct.

Years ago, I had a brand new Toyota pickup. One night, I came around a curve, there was a deer in the middle of the road and there was no time to think. I turned the wheel, ended up inverted in the woods and my new pickup was totaled. (I didn't get hurt.)

But the deer lived.

I really hated losing my new wheels. But I've never had any regrets that the deer lived.
