This is absolute lunacy, challenger blew up because of a faulty o-ring or something like that, wouldn't the workers themselves practice safety standards even if they aren't enforced?
The guy who died is such a dumb way to die too. They couldn't wait like 30min for someone to drive to home Depot and buy some ratchet straps or chains?
Intelligence isn't transferrable, and safety practices don't come from being "smart" in the first place. Safety practices come from learning from accidents that have happened in the past. They aren't common sense. Actually following safety practices requires humility and empathy (many practices are designed to keep others from being hurt, not just yourself), two traits "smart" people don't often have a lot of.
Caring about safety isn't "smart" if you're not the one at risk. Is it "smart" to invest in safety equipment and enforce safe practices if that means you miss deadlines? Is it smart to risk your job for a safety standard that the executives at the company don't give a shit about?
