Following this activity is a class discussion over some of the answer that were created.
It's safe to assume that most people will take risks in their life. It is near impossible not to take a risk. What we can do though is look to find ways to minimise the likelihood of damage from taking these risk. This is what we call strategies for minimising harm.
Activity #2
For this task you are to list the variety of ways each of these activities have strategies in place to minimise the risk of harm to the person doing them... there should be more than four strategies for each activity.
ACTIVITIES:
1) Riding a bike on the road at night
2) Someone trying sky diving for the first time
3) A gymnast practising the vault
4) Formula 1 driver racing
5) Drinking alcohol
You should have found a variety of strategies that are utilised to minimise harm for the majority of these activities. If there was any of these activities that you struggled to find any strategies in place explain why this was the case.
Activity #3
Write down an experience in where you took a risk. Answer the following questions about that experience:
What made you take the risk in the first place?
What did you feel after taking the risk?
Were there any strategies in place to minimise the risk of harm? If so what were they?
This is it for lesson 1, make sure that all work is completed proir to lesson 2.
