"Interview shows Titanic expedition firm CEO say: 'Safety is waste'
He told CBS News: 'You know, there's a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. | mean if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. ‘Don't get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.'"
@ned Sensible people would, I think, try very hard to minimize risks. For example: If we can't surface after the dive, we'll die. So how many ways can we figure out to get back to the surface if the first method fails, and the first backup method fails, etc. Twenty methods is probably too expensive and not practical, but I would personally want at least three independent ways of coming up. Four would be better. If five days of oxygen is normal, how can we extend that to eight? And so on. Taking stupid risks with clients' lives is not "breaking the rules"--it's idiocy. #tomatoes#gardens#Maine
@ned So…chlorine for the gene pool?! Thanks dude. We appreciate your candor… and death. Next billionaires in line. What stupidity will YOU do? How about remediating the homelessness crisis…then be stupid and die? The world will thank you then.

Basic lack of understanding about the difference between redundant systems (and contingencies) and duplication.
I agree in health care there is a lot of duplication (safety clutter) that doesn’t add to safety or create redundancy but often detracts from it.
However, safety is not waste. #humanfactors#HumanFactorsForHealthcare
@ned actual lols at this man's face and that quote, it's truly incredible how much he tempted fate, and with that happened with the Titanic as well, not a thing learned!
