Unwarranted evacuations increase the risk of ______ to passengers.

Unnecessary evacuations create physical hazards by forcing many passengers to move quickly through tight spaces toward exits. In a crowded cabin or deck, the hurried flow increases the chances of trips, slips, and falls, as well as collisions with other people, crew, or equipment. Doors, slides, and obstacles can injure someone if people push or descend stairs or ramps before they’re ready. Since the goal of evacuation is to get everyone to safety without creating new harm, actions that aren’t needed raise the risk of injury to passengers far more directly than they raise risk of theft or noise; panic can occur, but the most immediate concern is physical injury.
