Summary:
"Steve Casner has devoted his career to studying the psychology of safety, and he knows there's not a safety warning we won't ignore or a foolproof device we can't turn into an implement of disaster. Casner details the psychological traps that prevent us from being more careful.... Then he shows us real examples of how and when injuries happen, so we know exactly what we should really be worrying about."--Front flap of jacket.
