  1. People are CONSTANTLY dying in carriage accidents, which I have to assume is due to car accidents being the like, unmarked form of accidental death in real society and people not wanting to put in more period appropriate deaths for some reason.
  2. People are constantly complaining about and/or using isekai cheat knowledge to improve carriage suspension quality
  3. There aren’t that many clip art carriages I guess so the same ones tend to crop up repeatedly like character actors

Near the school (and about 5 mins walk away from my mums house) is a small green that has this kind of dip in the middle. The story goes that back in the Victorian times that used to be a pond, but there was a tragic accident, a horse drawn carriage overturned and plunged into the pond drowning a lady. Now, extrapolate this out and I guess yeah there’s loads of people during all the time to tragic back story altering carriage accidents back in the day - you gotta 100% give that one to fantasy isekai mangaka.

People used to die in horse and buggy accidents all the time; think about driving a car except the engine is excitable and might decide to just fucking trample you even if nothing else in particular is going wrong. Mostly people died of head injuries, either being ejected from a carriage or being trampled.

(I myself have been thrown by horses four times and was damn lucky I didn't get seriously hurt)

Joseph Stalin got hit by a horse carriage twice as a child.

Variance on horse-and-carriage damage is wild. It's a terrible strat for isekaing anyone.

also carriage suspension was surprisingly important!! wheel technology was actually really poor and “roads” created all sorts of asymmetric wear on axles and the like, causing all sorts of accidents (that would then spook the horses) until “suspended carriages” became more common.

in reply to @TalenLee's post:

The variance is what makes it ideal, actually. Normally you've gotta consult the Fates and if they're the Chosen One, then you send the box truck after them. But a carriage? If it works, that means they're the Chosen One (chosen by blunt force)
