Guess this is the right thread for this:
Regarding the mass shooting in Las Vegas- The most common pic shows a guy and two gals dashing for cover, and looking at how they were attired made me think that had it not been a Country Music show the toll would`ve been much worse....because many of those concert-goers were undoubtedly wearing Cowboy boots, which are decent footwear for emergencies.
These days, many people leave the house in flip-flops or other such footwear that`s simply not gonna cut it in an emergent situation. People I know IRL actually smirk and say stuff like: "oh, nothing`s gonna happen"; I`ll take my chances"; "I`ll be fine." OK, hope that works for you.
All-in-all, I live an awfully safe, secure, 1st World existence, but there`ve been plenty of occasions when wearing functionally appropriate footwear was of critical benefit to me. [Stuff] happens, and Darwinism plays favorites its own way.
