Episode 325 - Safety Skills

Despite Rob disbelieving it, we've gone 300+ episodes without ever devoting an entire hour to research covering safety skills. So, before Dr. Miltenberger busts in to give us feedback about our failing, in situ-style, we get right on it. Aside from looking at specific examples of safety skills training with firearms and earthquakes, we look at the larger swath of training research to figure out what works best, what gets used most, and what components provide that extra-special treatment magic that your program can't succeed without.
