Actually, that's a bigger problem - if people aren't allowed to run when the urge takes them, they're more likely to flail and panic.

I don't see the threat level thing actually being of any value - Kobayashi Maru just makes people hack the test. People have to know how to react so when things go horribly wrong they don't flail. They also have to learn that everyone is responsible for everyone's safety, including their own.

Or, you know, we just cut a finger off every time someone causes an injury. That would get it across pretty quickly.
