   ============================   
   artifacts ??!!   
      
   imagine a child standing in a  buss   
   not holding anything to stabilize himself   
   now   
   the buss is making a very sharp turning movement   
      
   and the child is falling  away towards the   
   outside direction of that circular movement   
   **AND IS GETTING HURT** (getting injuries!! )   
      
      
   is that  harmful accident is   
   ''fictitious    ''??   
      
   TIA   
   Y.P
