So far, neither of the two latest seem to be confirmed suicides rather
than accident or misadventure.
On the back of a lot of our K2 Speed Notices it used to say, "Accidents
don't happen, they are caused".
Sounds like something that was written by a personal injury parasite, sorry,
solicitor.
Oh dear, have we all become so jaded by the ambulance chasers? The
sentiment behind the statement is that accidents happen because people
take their eye off the ball. Accidents don't just happen, they are
caused by lack of attention and or poor planning.
Correct, remember that I'm quoting from the back of K2 Speed Notices, (I
presume they still exist but most likely under a different name) which
were issued to footplate staff weekly, in the 60s and 70s, not the
public at large and long before ambulance chasers came on the scene.
