It's related to r...Let me make an observation. It's related to recent articles in the news this week about the move in the automotive safety world to change the word "accident" to "crash." The point of advocates seeking this change is to remove the idea some things are inevitable (god made it happen) that's associated with the word "accident" to something that's less sure and pre-ordained. The advocates believe if you think it's human related then you might believe it's avoidable. If you believe "it's a result of god's intervention," there's no hope to preventing the mishap in the future.<br /><br />I mention this because it appears in the marine world as well as the aviation world, there are many "that's the cost of doing business" risks that could be eliminated if the perspective was we can do something better.<br /><br />What I mean is if you believe mishaps are inevitable then there's no room for improvement. If you believe they aren't, then there's a potential to make a better design or change something that should improve things.<br /><br />I am not surprised to find parallels in the aviation world with other vocations. My hope is we all believe there is always a better way of doing things. A result of that is a safer way of doing business.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TomSuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888480134844009407noreply@blogger.com
