-Let's try to run it:
+Other languages like C will attempt to give you exactly what you asked for in
+this situation, even though it isn't what you want: you'll get whatever is at
+the location in memory that would correspond to that element in the vector,
+even though the memory doesn't belong to the vector. This is called a *buffer
+overread*, and can lead to security vulnerabilities if an attacker can
+manipulate the index in such a way as to read data they shouldn't be allowed to
+that is stored after the array.
+
+In order to protect your program from this sort of vulnerability, if you try to
+read an element at an index that doesn't exist, Rust will terminate the program.
+Let's try it and see:
