jumpsalot-2 3 #32 August 3, 2011 There was the couple who bought the motor home. This is a true story by the way. They set off on their trip...the wife was driving...once they were on the freeway, she slapped on the cruise control and headed to the back to help her husband make dinner.................The motor home crashed of course, destroying it. They lived, and sued for a couple million dollars....and won.....You see, no one had mentioned in the owner's manual that "cruise contro"l is not an "auto pilot device". Now it is clearly stated in the owner's manual....... Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ECVZZ 0 #37 August 3, 2011 Quote the wife was driving That's as far as I had to read. There'a a bunch of those type stories out there, but it is, in fact, just this type of incident that set some very slippery precedents for Tort law. IMHO, most of this shit really skyrocketed when Dan White's attorney concocted what became known as "The Twinky defense" in the Moscone/Milk case. I know. Criminal vs civil, but conceptually equivalent in absurdity. G. Jones "I've never been quarantined. But the more I look around, the more I think it might not be a bad idea."

ECVZZ 0 #39 August 3, 2011 It got too serious when talk of children asphyxiated by plastic bags was brought into the thread. I appreciate the advice about SC, but not interested.

For example, she used disposable diapers on her baby, which is not very environmentally conscious. Second, the story in circulation has been "cleaned up" a bit for public dissemination. Ms. Abbey was actually ironing her entire outfit at the time of the incident and had removed her bra with the intention of breast feeding her child after she changed it, thus she was actually wearing nothing but the helmet and panties when she was found. And finally, the woman received multiple traffic tickets after the incident, including ones for speeding, unsafe driving, child endangerment, littering, breaking various fire-marshal regulations, illegal parking, damaging public property (the cliff), indecency, and operating an aircraft without a pilot's license.

JohnMitchell 16 #44 August 3, 2011 Quote OR, why they put the "Don't let your baby play with this plastic bag"? I know it seems stupid, but the lawyers make them do it. And kids DO want to play with those things. There might be a few parents out there that don't really think too deeply that might be helped by those instructions. How about little kids drowning in plastic buckets? I NEVER even thought about that until I saw the labels warning about the danger. So as dumb as it may sound, I'm okay with some of the labels.
