My kid asked me why my crane doesn't have a seatbelt, and I had to think for a minute.
I was explaining my job to my 8-year-old last week, and he just looked at me and said, 'But dad, if it's so high up, why don't you wear a seatbelt like in the car?' and honestly, that simple question about fall protection from a child hit me harder than any safety briefing ever has.

My buddy's kid asked him the same thing once, and he said it totally changed how he clips in every morning now (like, without even thinking about it).

Consider how you answered him, because that's the moment where a safety rule either becomes a real idea or just another thing to ignore. Did you find yourself explaining the harness and lanyard, or did you admit that sometimes the rules feel inconvenient until someone points out the danger?
