How safety conscious are you?

We stayed in a London hotel at the weekend, before unpacking I always read the instructions “in case of emergency”.
The lighting in the room was too dim so I had to use my phone torch.

As I relayed this to a friend she said “ well nobody bothers reading that do they? “

I always check where my exits are in case of evacuation, I do this at airports, train stations etc.

Are you part of the it will never happen to me brigade or do you put safety first?

I've never thought to check emergency exits or anything in hotels, but will do so in future.

I have seen recommendations to put your shoes just inside the door or a hotel room with the toes pointing in the direction of the nearest emergency exit door so that if you do need to rush out in case of an alarm you don't have to think about which way to go.

I do listen to the safety demonstration on planes with half an ear, but I find them ridiculous if you're on a flight which isn't going over water.

I always read the card and then find the emergency exit as soon arrive and check the exit again just before bed. I've been caught up in 2 hotels fires.
