how the FFFFF do you shoot yourself in the arm?! And how the hell does that round end up in someone's ass?!
I work in a job (railroad) that involves, among other things, the company preaching/hammering us with safety training, safety measures, safety classes, safety equipment, safety safety safety etc etc...Signs and reminders and memos and instructions and awareness posters ("A safe day is a good day..") everywhere. They conduct "training and awareness classes, have some safety "peer groups" where its more casual and relaxed than the rigid, boring training film classes. Employees sit and chat about stuff they've "seen" dangerous near-misses etc. These get togethers are usually the best and most eye opening cuz they're completely private and off the record. Just folks chatting.
The one thing, the one "constant", the one "contributing cause" to literally 99% of all "accidents", literally almost every single one, is or was that someone, somewhere at some point wasn't paying ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ATTENTION to the "task at hand" (etc) . And if that "task" in your hand is a gun, and you're not paying a hundred percent attention? You can probably "accidentally" shoot yourself (or someone else) just about anywhere on your (or their) body.
Many MANY times during the course of my job I've had trainees, some young some very mature and experienced. One of the very first things I tell them is "PAY ATTENTION, ALWAYS!!"
And I can't tell you how many times I've had to literally tell trainees to "get out", "get away from the controls", "go home and come back when your head is screwed on properly" (etc)...Cuz they were NOT PAYING ATTENTION..(texting, goofing, chatting, horsing around, cell phone, internet, whatever.)....All while ("Oops, my bad") programming a train to speed down a track - a track where they had just minutes ago ("Oops, my bad") told a work crew that the track was safe, unoccupied out of service, etc.. "Oops. (giggle giggle)...Sorry sir, My bad".
"Get up, get out of the effin' chair, go take (another) smoke break and finish whatever important business is so important to you and...Then go home".
"Oops"
