#2 Great writeup! Bought the book.
Does Rantburg get Amazon cred from the book links?

and start extricating a rollover in the ditch
NEVER start until you examine the scene!
Unstable rollover in a ditch will also drown rescuers when it turns. Gas dripping onto a hot manifold will boom both the trapped driver AND the hasty hero. Blind traffic from the rear will sever your legs when you try to get the jack out of the victim's trunk!

You must train to maintain situational awareness in the rain of adrenaline.

#3 You must train to maintain situational awareness in the rain of adrenaline.

Absolutely.

Seems like every Safety First segment I have been through leads with, "We didn't get the traffic control right." Used to be Joe twelve-pack and his barley soup breakfast coming 'round the bend, now it is lit'l Bobby and his smart phone.

#4 Since wife just tried to start a grease fire in the oven...yup...remember to check your extinguishers as well. And in case you missed it, the Kidde brand fire extinguisher had a mass recall. If you have this brand, go to their website to see if your model and serial number is part of this recall.

This video has a little of everything (youtube).
