Risk? There is preventable risk, acceptable risk, avoidable risk, unavoidable risk and reduction of risk. Problem there is some masculine thrill taking a risk, beating the odds and being some sort of hero/superstar/he-man. The thrill of surviving unscathed often over rides common sense. Ever see people jump bikes, leap off the cliffs, skydive etc. Anybody that doesn't prevent risk where possible eg. shield over a chain is simply from the shallow end of the gene pool. Anybody that doesn't reduce risk by eg. wearing their seat belt, safety glasses, ear plugs, install rops on older equipment. They are also from the shallow end of the gene pool. Preventable risk is also common sense and not living denial thinking your are too smart,fast.strong or important to be injured/killed. Preventable risk is simple like staying off the fender or platform so you don't get run over by the tire. Or run over by the drawn equipment. Shallow end of the gene pool again is the origin of people who don't avoid risk were possible. Unavoidable risk is a rare situation. There is always something you can do to tilt the odds your way. Why do firefighters wear bunker gear, helmets and scba? Reduction of risk is slowing down on side hills, avoiding steep hills, wider wheel track width etc. As for people saying today when we know better that it's ok to allow passengers on the rear fender with that rear wheel(s) right there. Plain and simple, it's worse than being stupid. It's knowing what you are doing what is wrong.
