For nervous passengers I've found it best to keep it too the basics
(location of first aid kit + fire extinguisher and how to get out) -
unfortunately if you load them up too much you 'over teach' and retention
goes right down to the point where they can't remember anything, let alone
everything.

No argument from me there. But one still needs to provide the basics. And
one still needs to be up-front with the passengers regarding the risk of the
activity in which they have agreed to participate.
