Adverse (
adjective) - having a negative or harmful effect on something:
 
The match has been cancelled because of adverse weather conditions. 
They received a lot of adverse publicity/criticism about the changes. 
So far the drug is thought not to have any adverse effects.

How rational are we when we assess risks? 
A
One of the many design faults in humans is ours startling unwillingness to measure 
consequences. We become so mesmerised by one particular risk that we cannot see 
beyond it. So, for instance, convinced that out children are perpetual danger from 
strangers (though statistically the risks are tiny), we refuse to let our kids walk to school 
and instead trigger obesity, which is far more likely to harm them.
B
And what happened after the Hatfield rail crash in the UK in 2000, which killed four 
people? The cause was identified as a broken rail and an immediate slowdown was 
ordered on 500 sections of suspect track. Frustrated by delays, a third of rail 
passengers switched to the roads, where accident rate per kilometre is 12 times that of 
rail. The resulting growth in road traffic probably resulted in five additional fatalities 
– 
compared with only six caused by broken rails over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, train 
drivers operating on a railway with no timetable were having to consult up to 16 pages 
of special directions on speed instructions, increasing the likelihood of passing a signal 
at red 
– 10 times more likely to result in death than a broken rail.
C
Then there are seatbelts. If you have the misfortune to be in a crash, there is no 
doubt that a seat belt will reduce your risk of dying, but overall, there has been no 
discernible effect of seatbelt legislations on fatalities for car drivers and passengers. 
Why not? Because no one foresaw the consequences of people changing their 
behaviour once they were securely belted up 
– driving faster and more recklessly. 
Similarly, sports researchers have found that protective aids, such as body armour, lead 
to more injuries because players take greater risks.
D
Human behaviour is fuelled by perceptions, not th
e ‘facts’ or what scientists present 
as ‘real’ risks. Research has identified several ways in which we perceive and assess 
risk, including the following.
E
In many areas of technology, such as nuclear power generation, major accidents 
involving safety system failures can have catastrophic effects, and risk is seen as a fatal 
threat. Such an event could, theoretically, occur at any time., although the likelihood of 
its occurrence is extremely low. A look at the perception of rare random events shows, 
however, that probability plays hardly any role at all in how people perceive danger: it is 
the random nature of the event that poses the feeling of threat.
F
Natural disasters like earthquakes are usually seen as unavoidable events with 
catastrophic effects, but because they are natural, they are beyond control 
– unlike 
accidents caused by human error. In such cases, the relative rarity of the event provides 
psychological reinforcement for risk denial, as shown by the large numbers of people 
who choose not to move away from earthquake zones.
G
When, despite considerable risk, people climb the world’s highest mountains without 
breathing apparatus, or throw themselves off a cliff-top with nothing more than a pair of 
artificial wings to save them, and do so in the name of sport, the meaning of risk takes 
on a new dimension. The attraction of such activities is the fact that they involve risk. 
People take risks in order to test their own strength and to triumph over natural forces.
