There are no accidents.
Steve Casner, author of “Careful: A User’s Guide to Our Injury-Prone Minds,” maintains that almost every unintentional injury and death is preventable.
He knows whereof he speaks. The NASA research psychologist has dedicated the past 20 years of his life to ensuring the safety of people who are hurtling through space.
Casner’s mission statement in “Careful” (Riverhead Books, $26) is to point out everyday dangers and to provide tips to help “keep the casts off our legs and the tags off our toes.”
The book is informative, funny and frightening. After reading, you’ll want to wrap yourself in protective bubble wrap.
