"Accidents happen with complacency."

I try to remember that every time I set foot in the shop or work on anything. Needs to be safety rule number one.

I saw this thought worded differently. I was looking at a wonderfully restored Piper Cub at an air show and the owner had a large, engraved notice on the panel:

"Don't do nothin stupid cause Sh_t Happens."

The ancient version of that same thought, from Roman philosopher Apuleius:

"Familiarity breeds contempt."
 
I once stared at a 500kg dud out of a stick of 8 HE's dropped from a Heinkel 111K.
We commented about the poor quality of German workmanship.

How wrong can a 10 year old be?
