Well this is true, but we are playing with toy cars, not trying to visit mars.
My main point about common sense was things like not trying to drive a fast truck in a crowded area, not standing in front of the truck when it is coming at you at 40+ mph, not holding the tires and giving it full throttle. As far as lipo charging goes, there is plenty of info about how to do it properly. A fire extingisher is a good idea, that is for sure. I have one just outside the door to my rc room.
Jery, you make a good point about the money. Most do not consider saftey equipment a necessary tool, but it is. I learned the hard way to wear shoes and socks while playing, as I almost ripped my sandal off with an emaxx, and hurt my foot running after a smoking quark! Some precaution must be taken when doing anything, even if it is just checking the weather channel.
