I've just been reading an Agatha Christie novel from 1929 in which one of the characters states, "love of danger for its own sake – which to my mind is a very healthy sign in these Safety First Days ".
Another character states, "I have never thought much of the motto 'Safety First.' In my opinion half the people who spend their lives avoiding being run over by buses had much better be run over and put safely out of the way. They're no good."
Do that view seem familiar 88 years later?
