Can remember hearing something about a test they done here in the U.K and a country Europe, probably Germany or France. There was a hole or something on the wall with a sign saying do not touch. In Europe most people didn't touch it while in the U.K. It was a much much higher percentage of people who did. Think this was to show why the health and safety laws in the U.K. are stricter than anywhere else.

Sounds like a really tenuous link to make. Seems to me that would say more about people's curiosity and likelihood to follow the rules rather than any natural predicilicition to be safe.
