Risk 112
Risk 112 : In risk comparisons in particular, a risk is frequently defined as multiplication of the extent of damage (which consequences?) by the frequency of occurrence (how often does the incident occur?). A technology with frequently occurring accidents, but limited consequences (e.g. car) may present higher risks than a technology with rare, but serious accidents (aircraft). This risk variable is the benchmark for assessment of possible consequences of a technology and for comparison of consequences of various technologies.
