Safety equipment and outbriefs
After a 2 years being involved with GA whilst hour building and competing my ATPLs etc, I have seen many people walk out to aircraft in the most inappropriate clothing you could imagine, full of loose articles and without any consideration to the inherent risks if the career/hobby in which we all enjoy.
This brings about my question, what, if any, safety equipment do people wear/ carry when flying, and do you conduct any type of preflight outbrief (even to yourself)? Personally I now always fly with an belt cutter/screen breaker, rarely carry any "loose articles" and always do proper fuel/mass and balance/performance calcs before I go flying. I also always fly with long trousers/long sleeves and try not to wear clothes that would be worse in a fire.
One can never be prepared for anything, however it does appear that many people out there just either don't understand the risks or choose to ignore them.
Thoughts/ comments?
