Although I generally agree with the first sentence in your post, in this case I agree with
Fly Aiprt. No one is saying that a decision maker's family is at fault, and certainly no one should ever threaten a decision maker's family. But... every "accountable executive" would do well, when considering SMS and the balance between safety and profit, to ask themselves the question, "Am I satisfied that I am NOT putting profit or share price
above safety". One way to personalise such safety concepts -- and one's own commitment to them -- is to "gut-check" whether you would do anything differently knowing your own close friends or family were the recipients of your decisions.
