[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] There's also the question of acceptable risk. A warehouse forklift of today is a deathtrap if a shelf collapses on top of it: the protective frame atop the driver's seat won't help when the thing is lying on its side, like it will be after meeting said shelf. Should the forklifts be built with greater gauge to prevent tilting over, and with reinforced side doors? Their operators would be the first to say no: that would defeat the purpose of these useful tools. You don't wear EVA gear in a workbee any more than you wear a parachute when cleaning skyscraper windows or scuba gear when working on a bridge across a river. There are subtler safety measures available for such things. TOS already sets a precedent on 23rd century attitudes towards working in space. The shuttles have no obvious EVA gear, either...
