Risky World

Risk Navigator is an interesting sound app, which I've just installed...

It is part of the Risk Factor project launched by the Canadian government. The app allows you to explore the positive and negative impacts of everyday behaviours from cycling to BASE jumping to becoming President of the United States. It uses Professor David Spiegelhalter's micromorts as the basis, which we use with Year 9 students to explore aspects of risk.

Watch this video for an introduction to his work...

 

There's also a film, linked to the project, watch the trailer here.

And be careful out there...
