Important Safety Tips

I've always said that there are a lot of important safety tips out there, ones that I've heard about, warned about and some I even learned the hard way. I decided to put them together in this lens so that it can be a safer planet. If I can save one person from being careless with safety, it will all be worth it. And if not, it's at least gives me a chance to organize them, so I'm not that person. :)

Hope you like them...

If someone had given Captain BlackWing an important safety tip, things might have been different. 

And here is the list.

Feel free to vote on the ones you think are funniest, or most important in terms of safety! And this is an interactive list. You can contribute your own safety tips! Please though, family oriented tips only will be accepted.
