MADD released a statement saying
Drunk driving is not a game, and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable. And shooting a prostitute so you can get the money back you gave her for sex is not a choice, violent crime, or 100% preventable? o.O

You may also want to note the fundamental flaw in the testing method. Granted that the testers were checking the perception of the passage of time, they still made the logically flawed link between a free fall and a life threatening situation. In order to properly perform their tests, the subject would have to be unaware of their own safety. Thus, since the subject knew about the safety protocols of the test, the testing process failed to actual test their stated hypothesis.
Yes, it's a very nitpicky (but fundamentally important!) aspect all too frequently overlooked in research.
