A wheel came off a pickup truck in Los Angeles causing the Kia Soul to go airborne and flip, landing on its roof. This short video points out the need for PROTECTION and MITIGATION layers, as our actions cannot prevent some accidents. When on the roadways, we can be at the mercy of others and their lack of taking safety seriously. I doubt there will be a root cause analysis to know WHY the wheel came off the truck, but if this were in one of our workplaces, it would be CRITICAL to know the WHY and HOW this event occurred. But in society, sometimes we have to rely on our PROTECTION and MITIGATION layers to protect us. The PREVENTION layer falls squarely on the owner/driver of the truck and obviously failed in some way.
