Maybe I need some stretch of the No. 8 Wire

Reported Incident Severity Level: MAJOR

Yesterday morning, when I drove to work, it was stormy in Auckland. I used an umbrella while I was walking from the car park to the office building. I headed to the back door of the building as it was a short path. Unfortunately it was still locked and I started to walk around the adjoining building to the front door of the main building.

Then, whoosh!

A sudden violent gust destroyed my umbrella. It was now useless and I was soaked while walking around to the entrance.

I thought that it was beyond repair and a write-off but a closer look revealed that it could be repaired somehow, maybe with some stretch of the No.8 Wire. Anyway, we should be careful when we are forced to change the course of our actions. That is a time more likely for us to be caught by the unexpected.

Actual Incident Severity Level: MINOR
Root Cause: slip of attention
