Personally I don't care how any one builds if they take into account the 
ramifications of not following good safety practices. (as long as I'm 
not the recipient).  However like most drivers that have little of any 
concept of the dangers involved, Ignorance is bliss.  BTW we have 
improved our safety record.  We're down from a highway toll of over 
53,000 a year to 43,000 killed and many times that injured or maimed for 
life. Of course our medical system and lost production from probably 
over half a million costs the rest of us mightily.   Now I'm going to 
get my "rope" safety belt and do some tower work. <:-))

Which in many if not most states can bring a fine.

Or riding on the wrong side of the road, although if a licensed driver 
it can bring points in addition to a ticket in some states.

(or lightning)but that's kind of a poor example as your odds of getting hit by lightning are many times that of winning the lottery which are many times that of getting fried on a PL259.
