Re: 'Filtering' Accident

A nice little line in victim blaming going on here. Not at all. When asking an associate "what could you have done differently?" It is to make them aware that they often have choices that could mitigate the risk of injury or death. After all it is no consolation being right when you are l...

One of the dozen

I'm one of the (alleged dozen) regular posters evicted by the IAM.
