In your world we maim more kids less badly. Mike Tyson's daughter choked to death on one without ever leaving the surface of it.
In mine we take the measures that prevent kids from being killed. Namely not leaving kids playing with an inherently dangerous machine.
- ddingus 6y agoNo we do not maim more kids more badly. We do exactly what you said, AND we continue to improve product safety so that we minimize the harm in all fronts. Read it again. Everything you say about parents is valid, education done, the whole nine. The difference is you want to make it all about the parents, despite the fact that this kind of thing could, and does happen to even the best parents. Because NOBODY is perfect there is a responsibility to design with that in mind, and in this case with this product, this company, that did not happen and it should have, same as the parents should have... We have standards for all this because when we subtract either error here we end up with a far better outcome. And that is why there willbe far fewer events overall, and for those that do happen, far less harm. This is no contest, unless you somehow believe it makes more sense for people making products to not give a fuck about what happens to the people who use them. We did that already and it was terrible. That movie already played out and the world moved on. Back in the 20's it worked much more like you advocate here. The verdict was clear and does not favor the position you have advocated for here.
