chance of a severe injury

something will seem less risky

sometjing that is risky only at hing exposure

delayed for many yeaes will seem much less risky

One method that engineers sometimes use to help analyze risk and to determine whether a project should proceed

the most common and are the result of someone making a bad choice or not following established procedures.
