Operational safety at reenactments

[Jim Burrill]

I think I am seeing this shake out into four (at least) areas
1) Vehicle and Crew safety
2) Display safety
3) Parade/road safety
4) Tactical (reenactment) safety.


I will sort through the posts so far and chunk them that way.

This is really a "Group-mind" process, So please voice your opinions, even if someone has already mentioned something. Good to see concurrance, as well as perhaps from a slightly different perspective.

Illustrations..... Not sure how to incorporate those - not for a check list, bit for a longer "booklet" format on practical safety for HMV's.

(booklet just to contain the topics, not as in a booklet to buy. Once I get to the .pdf stage, we can all copy and share.

Illustrations - any of on-scene accidents? Can blur faces. Some of the most attention getting safety messages during my Navy days were actual photos in the safety magazine called "Approach" (here is a link to archives of several Navy magazines - http://www.gjenvick.com/Military/Nav...#axzz3uRkeyldX

Any other pictures of accidents just waiting to happen, write ups of near misses, or AARs of ones that hit.

You can see where I am going with this.

Thanks to all who have responded so far!
