So you need an EPIRB if out of immediate help, presumably you wear a helmet while driving the amount of brain damage in car accidents is large , work safe prohit going more than 2 metre up as falls may lead to death etc etc , so presumably you wouldnt rely on placing proctection every 2 metres but would need BOMBER bolted protection . I have known many people who have died or been injured in outdoors and away from easy ambulance care and the only one that may not have occurred was one who disaapeared on the south coast track (it was thought ) but then beacons didnt exist then anyway. getting out of bed in the morning always puts you into situations of danger and if you took all necessary precautions for all eventualities then getting out of bed would hardly be worth it also from what I have heard and seen people that carry such thing rarely need them and the ones that dont do . eg people that need to be searched for rarely do what they would be expected to do
