Mark Krizik is a systems engineer for Motorola and a
lieutenant in the Posen, Ill., fire department outside Chicago. He’s
also a prophet. A couple of weeks ago, Motorola held a one-day
firefighting training seminar for its product engineers, designers and
marketing managers, which Krizik led. The idea behind the event, which
has been held annually for the last nine years at the University of
Illinois’ Fire Service Institute, is that experiencing what
firefighters experience will result in products that work the way
firefighters need them to work.
During the orientation that preceded the exercises, Krizik mentioned
that slips and falls were the most common injury suffered by
firefighters. Shortly thereafter, I nearly tumbled down a flight of
concrete stairs. It was, dark, smoky and my SCBA mask was fogged — I
couldn’t see a damned thing. So, in a feeble attempt to find the first
step, I commenced something of a tap dance. Big mistake. My heel hit the
top of the step and immediately slid off, which nearly catapulted me
down the stairs. Fortunately for me and the other members of my team who
I would have wiped out, I managed to somehow arrest my fall AND hang
onto the heavy crowbar-like device and flashlight I was carrying. (In
that brief moment of panic I uttered a rather colorful expression of my
terror — which, thank goodness, was muffled by mask.)
