Public concerns about safety of iPod listener. It's not uncommon to read in newspaper or witness that someone was hit by car as s/he didn't hear the car was coming when crossing the road.
I always listen to my iPod while commuting and had couple of near-misses from cyclist, taxis and trams. Also, I've been asked to re-do the safety induction at my workplace as I failed to evacuate during a mock-emergency-alarm (I didn't hear the alarm clearly as I was using IEM at that time)
Have you experienced near-miss or accident or receive fingers while listening to headphone?
And, what's your strategy to prevent that (esp for IEM user)?
