A security expert discloses why handful of us are as careful once we think we live and whatever we can do about any of it. Today's world can be a dangerous place, filled up with fast cars, smartphones, new drugs, and thrill sports. In the meantime, we humans are as fragile as ever. In fact after a century of stable improvement, accidents and accidental fatalities are increasing. Steve Casner has committed his job to learning the psychology of security, and he has learned there's not really a safety warning we won't disregard or a foolproof device we can't turn into an use of disaster. Careful! is a user's guide to our injury-prone minds. It can help us understand why we do things like insist on the fat-free salad dressing but then word and drive. Casner points out the mental traps that can lead us to the picture of a major accident. They're the same whether you're a pilot, a Hollywood stuntwoman, a father or mother, or the owner of a clogged dishwasher you're attempting to fix with a screwdriver. Then Casner shows us how and when the accidents happen, so we know exactly what we ought to really be worrying about. Casner's reserve helps us keep our fingertips attached in the kitchen, our children afloat at the pool, and our young adults safe behind the wheel and shows us a great many other ways we can take control of our own safety and complete the day without trouble.
