Also, don't go out on your own; have at least three mates in stab proof clothing, without any exposed flesh; use a reliable automatic shotgun, loaded with at least 00 buck; put enough rounds into it so you can be sure it's dead; carry lots of spare ammo; remember that cold blooded creatures do not show up on infrared; don't leaved any angle exposed and stay in open spaces; lock the doors so they can't open them; don't go to the loo in a crisis situation; get off the electric fence when it starts beeping; stay with the car; objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are; and be the very well paid romantic lead.
But most importantly: Don't use a security system with gaping holes like the fact that the fences can be turned off, and are then useless (seriously, use a welded cross grille made from at least 2" steel bar, with a finer mesh across all of it as well)
Seriously, I should have designed the park:
A: "Oh bother, the power's gone, but the backup generator's already taken over. I'm setting the second back up to ready mode as well just in case the first one should go."
B: "Well, that's a little annoying, but at least all of the dinosaurs are firmly held in the solid steel cages that they'd need an angle grinder to get through. And they're electrified AS WELL! Imagine if we'd just used electric fences, and no backup genny!"
C: "Yes, it's laughable - we'd have a 3 figure body count by now, and it only went out 15 seconds back. And of course, to be extra careful, all the angle grinders on the island are locked up safely where not even the velociraptors carefully bred to be incapable of operating doors or machinery could possibly find and operate them."
B: "And our emergency breakers are NOT positioned in a forest where we could be ambushed when we tried to get to them".
D: "It should also be noted we have two fully trained and armed response teams as well should a problem occur. They know not to go out alone, and they stay in constant radio contact with each other and security central at all times."
A: "And the doors all have electronic safeguards that can only be opened by someone with a body temperature sufficiently high."
C: "All the staff were security checked, and the cameras in cold storage cannot be deactivated by any means. All the site is covered by cameras, and constant checks are carried out to ensure all dinosaurs are present in their cages."
D: "And all the creatures have been physically neutered, rather than just being made of one sex. And they are all implanted with remote sedation devices that we can use to knock them all out in under 10 seconds."
B: "But imagine what could have happened if we'd made those stupid mistakes... I mean, we'd all be dead by the time anyone was rescued."
A: "I know, but here, the tourists barely noticed. I'll fill out this short incident report and have the main generators - which are not in a remote location, it should be said - checked, repaired and restarted ASAP."
They have the same problem on sci-fi shows. Put the prisoner in a cell with a containment field for the door, which costs more, and then fails when the power goes.
Just using a regular solid door would be far more effective. I mean, we today don't get mass prison breakouts if the power should blip for a second.
Those survival tips should help you get through your problem with rampaging dinosaurs. If you are really worried, don't go near the island that they are on.
And now I've forgotten my suggestion...
