Fatality from falling 7 foot

It is better to be careful 100 times than to get killed once.

It's sad that any fall can be fatal, given the right circumstance.
That's why some people get into the 'Fatality of anything' scenario when doing Risk Assessments.
I've just been delivering a Managing Safely this week and we had the 'Consequences' debate.
People have tripped in the street and cracked their heads on kerbs, but fortunately the odds are against a fatality in such circumstances. :?
