My VERY simple safety idea that will never work

how about air conditioning as a safety idea-and of course pkgs under 70lbs, and less stops.....and.....

The problem with something like this is that someone that has watched House or Mash thinks they know what to do. And end up doing more damage than good.

I remember not that long ago some teens riding around in the back of the pick up. One boy was streaking/truck surfing, or what ever they call it. Fell out of the back of the truck. He had bad injuries, especially to the neck. Some of the kids tried to help by putting on his shorts, and actually made the injury more severe, severe enough to have killed him.

And I can tell you of several friends leaving a bar together. One (or all) had had too much to drink and passed out outside. For whatever reason, they left him there, but they rested his head on the curb. By morning he was paralyzed from the neck down from the curb digging into his neck all night.

Here where I work, there is a medic on every floor, and most in this building have CPR. We also have a defib on every floor and people trained to use them.
