Oh, cool, that's right around here

So so so many times I've gone up those twisty roads on my motorcycle and come across someone in a F-450 dually pulling a thirty-foot horse trailer or whatever, taking up 1.8 lanes, and they usually have the audacity to honk at me for getting in their way

Excellent write up. Some of my v.early school memories were of this crash and the school wide empathy for the headteacher who lost his daughter in that crash.

Thanks! I'll try and write something else in the next few days.

I was thinking of doing a change of pace and writing about something minor, rather than just beating the drum about casualty numbers. Sometimes near misses can lead to pretty much the same lessons as disasters.

I mean, you can literally put naked flames out with diesel so it's not really.

It's only an issue if you heat it up first, or compress it with enough air that the vaporised fluid deflagrates.

I'd be super interested in hearing about notable near-misses, for what it's worth.

I'm interested, please do. I really enjoy in depth case studies like this.

One of my biggest frustrations at my job is that we've had a spate of safety issues (including a chem lab explosion! Nobody was seriously injured, but there were some burns that required hospitalization) but the admin won't give us any details on what happened. We've had a ton of company wide safety rules and upgrades, but all I know about what lead to them is from the rumor mill.

I guess the definition of "seriously injured" that my company uses differs greatly from the one your company uses.

If he'd driven fast enough the centrifugal force would have pinned him to the outside of the curve and he'd be fine.

the question is could he drive fast enough without mounting the barrier, and the answer, to me, is no

I should clarify, I wasn't using the official company determination because (again) they never actually shared that information with us. I was just speaking off the cuff; in this case "seriously" for me meant "Nothing that won't heal with time." So, no deaths, no blown off fingers, nothing like that.
