This is slightly different. It is difficult to see spinning blades,
and people in third world countries who aren't used to helicopters
are known to injure themselves, not noticing them. Especially if this
was the same guy who drilled his brains out :) I assume you've all heard
of the Darwin awards...
>Person tries to commit suicide using electric
drill. Not fatal,
>significant brain damage. Heirs sue and the award is in the millions.
>Reason, does not say the drill should not be used for surgery.
This may be simply anecdotal, but keeping in mind the
other two:
Man (accidently) walks into spinning tail rotor of helicopter... his
family sues because it wasn't placarded that it might be dangerous to
walk into rotating blades...
("Think of it as evolution in action.") :-)
