[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4430045, member: 56035"] working on the railway is a good example of how capitalism prioritizes profits over safety. the way alot of the equipment is designed is unsafe. so if your riding one of the cars and holding on, the bar is too low for you to get a good centre of gravity to hold on good. between cars there isnt a lot of space by design so it leads to not much room for error. if the train suddenly moves, you wont have alot of time to get out. i know one guy lost a toe. then on top of it, i remember some of the engines had the air brakes on one side where you have to climb over, instead of right in the middle with easier access. if the dopey designers of the train at least consulted with the employees who actually work on the trains, they wouldnt have made this mistake. and the last big one is being on call. your expected to go even if your tired, even though the regulations say you dont have to. the regulations arent enforced because of regulatory capture.
