As for the guy that died horribly after filling his boat, have you ever
made
a mistake? Should you have died screaming because of your mistake?
That's a little harsh, isn't it?


Harsh? You Bet... Life is tough, and then you DIE..... Yep, The guy
should, and did, DIE, because he made "a Mistake", actually he made a
couple of mistakes, and the accumulated consequences of these mistakes,
KILLED Him.....

1. He didn't understand the nature of the technology he was using...
He didn't understand that Gasoline Fumes were explosive,,,
2. He didn't turn on the Bilge Blower for 10 minutes to clear the
fumes..... or the Bilge Blower wasn't working....
3. He didn't have a Fire Extinguisher in the Engineroom, OR he didn't
have one big enough, to put out the fire....

These things are REQUIRED Knowledge, for Gasoline Powered Vessel Owners,
and when one doesn't acquire the requisite Knowledge, for safe operation
of a technology, then one sets themselves up, for the consequences,
intended, or unintended, of their own choices.....

Being Stupid, doesn't remove the liability for the consequences of ones
choices, or actions..... It only makes them more inevitable....


Well, I sure hope you have better luck should you ever make a mistake!

I make my own "Luck", by doing my best to understand the technology that
I use.... and understand the intended, and unintended, consequences of
situations, that I find myself in.... Most folks have learned to do the
same, but it is apparent that you haven't... and that is your problem,
not mine... If your one mistake from Dying, then your just to Stupid to
live... and are inline for a Darwin Award... Most folks are in the 3 - 4
Compounded Mistake area, and usually they see the unintended
consequences, far enough ahead, that they choose a different path....
apparently that is not your forte....
