Re: [RC] Safe??? - Eric Rueter

At any rate, when people know the risks they're taking in advance,
you're
less likely to get lawyers involved, or even have malfunctions in the
first
place.

   I can remember writing on my slate with chalk during a class at the
University, that the more you admitted a dangerous situation, the more you
were liable if someone was injured in that situation.  The example given was
a dog.  If you put up signs that say "Beware of Dog" and you dog bites
someone, then you have admitted -before the fact- that you had a vicious
dog, and are therefore more at fault because you obviously did not do enough
to protect the public.  The more you try to "protect" the public (say a
fence for the dog), the more risk you are placing on yourself.  I am sure
one of our counselors will correct me if I am wrong.
