Thank you for sharing this story. It's easy to think the well-educated/professional/R&D/STEM-academia fields are devoid of danger - they are for the most part - but survival and safety is not a solved problem in many niches of these domains. I walk through a high-tech, massive industrial factory most days I go into the office. I find it harder to remember to look for wires and forklifts than I did when I was in roles closer to the danger. It's clearly a "natural" risk-analysis response, but risk doesn't go to zero, nor should the individual ever completely export their risk management to confidence in systems, processes, and organizations. The key-cards and clean rooms and smart people can lead us to forget these things.
