There’s a powerful urge to think risk is something that happens to other people. Other people get unlucky, other people make dumb decisions, other people get swayed by the seduction of greed and fear. But you ? Me ? No, never us. False confidence makes the eventual reality all the more shocking.

Things eventually changed, but it took decades. Seatbelt usage was still under 15% in the early 1980s. It didn’t exceed 80% until the early 2000s – almost half a century after Ford offered them in all cars.

I often get frustrated at work with people not being concerned with risks to the organization. This is a helpful reminder that people don’t actually care about their own physical safety for the large part. Seat belts, texting while driving, etc. Not that I am glad that people are not concerned about their own safety, or more importantly, the safety of others, but it does help reduce my frustration when they don’t care about organizational risk. That sucks a lot for my job, though! How do we defend that. I need to really spend some time really thinking through this.
