It’s just plain common sense that falling is dangerous, but protecting yourself from a fall doesn’t seem to register the same way in the brain.
A worker in a manufacturing plant doesn’t need a lot of instruction to properly use safety glasses or a hard hat, but using a safety harness in a way that will save your life, is just not as intuitive.
