Wifey always says to me, when your time is up, it's up. there's nothing you can do to protect yourself from a freak accident. I beg to differ. ever hear the expression 'Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity'? the same can be said with regards to situational awareness & safety. meaning, for example, don't stand on the corner of a big intersection w your toes over the curb because there might be a freak accident whereby a car or truck skips the corner, etc etc etc
