If we became capable of significantly extending human lifespan, I wonder how our attitude towards preventing physical accidents would change

Accidents & preventable deaths from bad health decisions would become more visible & proportionally more frequent causes of death.

The actual risk of any one activity might not change, but our attitudes towards safety might.

We might conceptualize of ourselves as children for longer periods of time, with all the baggage that comes with.

This would also correspond with socioeconomic disparities having an even greater magnitude of influence on lifespan than they do now.

(Which is ugly in itself.)

In particular, this might change our society's attitudes towards some of most common causes of death we tolerate (to varying degrees) now.

ex. cars, smoking, drugs, alcohol, obesity.
