Table Saws Can Be Deadly!

[PornoDoggy]

Damn, ulfie ... glad you are okay!

The law firm I worked for represented a major manufacturing firm with subsidiaries that made power tools and ladders. We had two partners, anywhere from six to thirty associates, and a whole herd of legal assistants and clerks that did nothing but work on stuff for them, almost all of it product liability, and 90% of it frivolous.

My favorite nominee for the Darwin Awards was a professional roofer who had been a union safety trainer at one time who was working on the roof of a bank's drive-through awing. He used the fly (top part) of a disassembled 40' extension ladder, placed it upside down on sloped wet asphalt pavement, and proceded to climb up toward the roof carrying a mop and bucket. The entire accident was recorded on the bank's security camera, although you could barely see the part where the mop handle entered an eye socket. HBD (legal term for "he be dead") and the widow sued the ladder manufacturer for a defective product after she'd blown through an unbelievable amount of money from workmen's comp and insurance.
