I'm definitely one of those who believes firmly in doing what you can and pushing yourself to research, experience or explore in order to enhance your story. And when it can't be done - for safety's sake (and what a great suggestion for a substitution for speed!) - say, fighting a fire - you can talk to those who DO, or read the memoirs of those who have. I recall a very powerful blog post by Lee Lofland on his experience when he shot and killed a suspect during a police stand-off gun battle. His reaction was far different than I might have imagined, and very powerful. Sometimes that tiny, nuanced snipped of detail can be the difference between riveting your reader and having them yawn and turn out the light.
