Human Performance and Risk Management

[Nate J]

Hi all,

 

Follow the link attached for a interesting, if a little academic, talk on safety, human resiliency in the face of adversity, and risk managment. About a half hour. It's in the context of wildland fire, but definately applies to climbing. It's insightful.

what do you all think about the football helmet analogy? do you take more risk climbing with a helmet on? i know i do.

how about perscriptive rules being appropriate for novices but not for experts? i've definetely had conversations on that topic with other climbers.

Sometimes I accidentally and then I the whole thing.
