It reminds me of root cause analysis in other fields: If users keep making a mistake, blaming the users is not productive. If bikers keep slamming into a gate while going at normal bike path speed, and that doesn't happen elsewhere, then maybe the design of the gate is part of the problem.

When I’m doing root cause analysis and corrective actions for safety incidents, the first thing I always look at is “would 90 percent of people in this situation have done the same thing?”

The answer is almost always yes. The only times it’s not are usually someone did something just belligerently dumb, was out of their mind on substances, or deliberate self-harm. It’s something I always try to drill into the heads of management because if you figure out why a system breaks you not only make it safer, you make it more productive. Everyone just thinks safety is there to slow things down though.

It's only been around in the UK in its current form since 2000, though that law could be seen as resurrecting an old right. Either way it's a bit limited compared to other countries in northern Europe.

It's worth pointing out that we only have right to roam over about 8% of land in England. Yes, once again, the schad is the British class system/the monarchy.

They always demonstrate these lasers on steel beams and railroad tracks. I want to see what happens if you point it at a crusty wheelarch on an 80s car.
