The letters HPV generally connote America's most often sexually-transmitted virus, but they can also mean something similarly unfortunate: Human-Powered Vehicles. A contest for the latter kind of HPV at Grove City College in Pennsylvania nearly ended in tragedy when this HPV from Olin College (clearly modeled after a diaphragm) lost control and plowed into the crowd.
I appreciate any kind of scholastic engineering competition, but I have to question the efficacy of a drag race that involves one participant crashing and still winning. Maybe Olin College is just that good.
