A friend of mine, Chris Liljenstolpe (formerly Swanson for those that might
know him from InterOp) earned the nickname "Mr. Safety" by giving a lecture
to his volunteers about the importance of not cutting corners on safety then
within 24 hours, using an office chair as a step ladder to reach something
at the top of a rack, and breaking both arms above the wrist when the chair
scooted out from under him.
Not Darwin Award material, but nonetheless a stupid, painful move.
