roller coaster risk management

Here is your gotcha!

Imagine taxiing in heavy with a tailwind, Engines fuel cut off, roller coasting in with a smug grin...and RingRing!!! APU fire..AND some ramp vehicle is about to intercept your path...and need I add some unruly passengers at the sound of engines being shut down decide to stand and remove luggage from over head bins...and Mr.Murphy decides to thrown in a brake failure scenario or nosewheel deflation...that cockpit ain't gonna smell too good! Now imagine in command is ...Mr. Bean!
