66     Protection  is  more  than  just  gloves You need protection when you’re out and about. This doesn’t just mean gloves. It also means knee pads, shin guards, tough material like heavy overalls, a hard hat that doesn’t look like a hard hat, and safety glasses. #129 A dust mask is a good idea, too, as well as ear plugs to keep out loud noises.

When in a crowd, do not run. Running draws attention and your own agitation can be contagious. In a mob, you don’t want to risk getting everyone ELSE excited, because things are already dangerous enough. #130 Always remain calm, move slowly, and do your best to get out of a crowd without making that crowd more excitable.

Being up above the action means you have a better chance of spotting real trouble before it can get to you, too. Submitted by Angelo, Eugene #131
