Observe that classifying a consequence as positive or negative represents social judgments and cannot be derived from the nature of the accident scenario (Klinke and Renn 2002). This implies that consequences can be regarded as positive by some people and negative by others. Examples include terrorist attacks or other cases where someone wants to cause harm. The terrorists aim to cause as much harm as possible to get attention. For them, it is therefore a positive consequence. For most others, it is seen as negative.
