Your first two sentences are pretty unfriendly. I'm not trying to be snide.

I don't think so - I got burned precisely by this -> people that work with danger regularly are actually used to it and do not faint or fall to you lap if you offer some marginal mitigation

Sometimea even to their own detriment

A solution that removes some minor but commonly encountered inconvenience is an easier sell than one that removes a rare but fatal one.

So a setup that keeps the steering wheel cool even in the hot sun may sell better than a device that prevents the tractor from flipping over on you.

I feel that hackernews readers need the blunt reminder once in a while.
