But let's be honest: A certain number of deaths (or losses) are acceptable.
Sadly you are right, but I would have thought that increasing the chances of survivability in order to try to minimise the number of those "losses" would be approached with some vigour?
Or is this some form of ego trip where the guys sit in the pubs after work patting themselves on the back for working in the most dangerous sector of the oil patch and living to talk about it today?
