Apparently you don't pay much attention to the Indy 500's you claim to watch.....

That element hasn't left with the addition of this device. It's purpose is to ensure a higher probability of walking away. It's what we call risk mitigation.

And you are one I wouldn't want within 100 yards of me on a project, nor would you want me near you....see I'm one who once risked prosecution for disobeying an unsafe order. If I or anyone was going down for that order it was going to be for doing the right thing not because we got a bunch of people injured and killed due someone's stupidity. Oh, and the top of the food chain in that organization, the people that matter when the other shoe drops, agreed with me. I wasn't the one sent packing nor was I the one with blood on my hands because "i don't mind a little danger" and I believe "those that don't think it's safe enough should find a safer occupation."
