I use to work in a world where folks get hurt, injured and killed.
Every safety rule in the books stems from someone getting injured or killed, pure and simple.
We had a rule at work, no finger rings. Folks would say that is stupid. One of of our employees lost a finger when one of his rings was caught in a piece of machinery. That caused a new safety rule, no finger rings while working.
Each time a person was killed an investigation was held to determine what caused the person's death. After the investigation was complete, most times a new safety rule or rules would be the result to stop future deaths.
If you chose to do unsafe practices, that is your choice and I will not be shooting next to you.
