Sadly, all the headlines shown in the header image of this website and on the cover of the books are genuine. The fonts and layouts are ours, but the words are real. Most of them are happy-ending stories, but serve to show how easily things can go wrong if you aren’t prepared, don’t have the right safety gear, or in some cases, are just on the wrong side of lady luck. And sadly, a few of the headlines are the sort that none of us ever want to read, and our hearts and deepest condolences go out to all those involved.
