Situation is fictional to illustrate utility of device.

  It's a lousy assumption then. Ick. Expect better of parents. I yelled at my special-needs son for opening the oven door and using it as a stepping stool to see what I was cooking. I wasn't mad. I was scared he would climb on it while the oven was hot. Because I wasn't mad and he heard me yell "no!!!" at full volume, he thought that's just how you pronounced the word and yelled it the first two weeks he began using it. I would look at him funny and he would look funny like "Did I pronounce it wrong?" After two weeks, he stopped yelling the word.

    I wasn't mad. I was scared he would climb on it while the oven was hot. The other fear here should be that it acts like a lever. The kid doesn't have to be that heavy to cause a free-standing stove to tip over. This is not a hypothetical danger. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/11/one-year-old-child-killed-when-range-tips-over/index.htm https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/11/one-year-ol... reports that over a thousand kids per year get injured this way and on average 1-2 of them die.

      There is supposed to be something at the back of the stove to prevent it from tipping over. Ours had a little device that surrounded one of the feet to do this. The installer said it was now required by law.

        That has been required by law for a long time now. A lot of stoves don't have it actually installed even though they are supposed to.

  Maybe I'm out of the loop but I think the issues was that it was never made for consumer use. I had plenty of uses for simple hands off first person recording. Sports and school events would have benefitted from video recording. Seeing their enterprise use, I'm thinking other people had a similar idea.
