Oh Alvaro, you've hit the nail again. One of the funniest accidents we saw in our former mountain resort home of Truckee was seeing a pair of very embarrassed people standing next to their SUV in the road. Apparently, the woman was navigating and told the driver, "Hey, turn right now!" He did. On dry pavement. They managed to get out of the SUV in tact, but the SUV was on its roof.
Yes, it's a common occurrence: when you increase protection, people realize they have more potential or resources to tap into, and they push their limits beyond what's possible. Again, if you exceed those limits, you run serious risks.
The key is to focus on behavior change, not just on increasing protection, as was the case with football, where helmet use wasn't effective until the rules changed.
A very interesting insight i used to wonder why these things were happening, you have brought out the real to think about to understand in a crisp manner which the same could be applied one post which caught my attention was the American football its not only to provide safety but also change the rules of the game.
That's right, the more protection, the greater the risk, because people's mentality remains the same: pushing their possibilities to the limit. If people's mentality doesn't change, the risk will always be there.
It's a very interesting topic in psychology that is often ignored in many prevention plans.

Dear Alvaro,
A very interesting insight i used to wonder why these things were happening, you have brought out the real to think about to understand in a crisp manner which the same could be applied one post which caught my attention was the American football its not only to provide safety but also change the rules of the game.
Wishing you all the best for posting
