The problem is that we tend to look at the face value of purchsing protective gear that we know we should have. We would rather spend that money on more Lipos and high voltage ESC's, and press our luck that an accident will not happen to us. Then when it does it ends up costing us a whole lot more then that protective gear would have cost us up front. Can you believe that more than 60-70% of household fires can be prevented if we just take the time to check things before we leave our homes and if we also make sure that we have the proper protective gear that shoud be in every home like the fire extinguisher and smoke detectors.

That radio active dust that is in the smoke detector is only a problem if you open it up and mess with it. Plus I doubt that the radiation that is held in that tiny package is really that dangerous or strong enough to cause you any problems anyway. If you have any appliances that are powered by natural gas of patrolium fuels and you do not keep your CNO2 detetor active, you are just asking for trouble. carbon manoxide will kill you and you want even know it is coming. These things are common sense for most of us, but the responsibility is in your hands. Is it worth the gamble to avoid the protective measures that are required? If you have a wife and or kids I bet you would not think twice about it. Its your life.
