Wow, quite a lot of negative responses.
Yes, the world is a safe place to travel, right up until the point its not and you are involved in something! Never say never.
Whist I would not use the course myself, due to my background being a bit like Tembo's, I think the concept is good.
Not everyone who travels knows how to deal with problems that are thrown at them and some would find peace of mind knowing they have a little bit of knowledge.
Travel, for some, may put them out of their comfort zone a little bit, isn't that a little bit of what an adventure is all about? Otherwise you might as well get on your GS, XT600E or whatever else you're riding and go to Starbucks.
No plan survives first contact and you never know how you are going to re-act until it happens to you and by then it maybe too late, so a little bit of knowledge and fore-knowing of some types of situations is a good thing
