In all areas of life; industrial accidents, wilderness accidents, auto accidents, skydiving accidents, equipment accidents, etc ,etc, etc, there are 2 prominent categories of people most prone to being involved in an accident.
1. The new guy, cherry, boot, whatever you want to call them. They don't have the experience or knowledge to know what they don't know. They make mistakes and take risks without a thought of "what if". They take risks because they don't know any better.
2. The senior, most experienced guy. The "expert". They've done it all, seen it all, know it all, and due to their superior skillset, can become complacent, which leads to accidents and uh-ohs. I run from these guys. Fast. They take risks because they know everything.
I used to teach high-angle mountin rescue, wilderness search&rescue, swiftwater rescue, industrial rope and confined space rescue, firefighter 1&2, chainsaw operator courses for the fire service and fire academies, wilderness medicine, industrial safety, yada, yada, yada. Been there, done that, got some groovy t-shirts along the way.
I wear a seatbelt because it may give me a slight advantage to making it home tonight. I wear PPE when doing just about any activity that can prevent me from enjoying another moment with my family. I also kick the chain break on if I am moving a few steps or sitting the saw down on uneven terrain.
You do you. I'll do me. My time from here on out is a gift that is too important to me to care whether you take every precaution you can to enjoy life.
