Fire Engineering Training Community

Where firefighters come to talk training


Let's see a show of hands (metaphorically speaking) - who has a suit of armor that will protect them from almost any accident, catastrophe, or evil genius? Anyone? ...I didn't think so! However, how many of us will take on preventable risks with the same brazen carelessness and complacency as if we're wearing a cape, or a bright red titanium suit?

This is pretty easy folks - buckling up saves lives! It will save yours, and quite possible the life of your sister or brother - remember, you may become a dangerous projectile, too! And for the driver of these rigs, have the courage to stand up for what is right and insist that all riders be buckled up before the air break is released - YOU have that superpower!!

You would think that this would be a "no brainer"?  It's a problem and it amazes just how much of a problem it is.  Good point!
