Eh?
Far, far too many people die as a result of both unrecognised and
recognised fatigue related accidents.
An accident may not be directly fatigue induced, but as I'm sure you
are well aware Jay, 99% of accidents are a series of small issues
brought togethor and fatigue is a cmmon member of that series.
When you're fatigued you are not 100% on the ball and thats when you
make mistakes, poor decisions, react slower, and in general get that
little bit closer to making a statistic out of yourself.
I'd hste the group to lose such a vibrant member because he chose to
"damn the fatigue" one to many times is all I'm saying.
