Look around you at the grocery store. 98% of the folks you are looking at are potential Darwin Award Winners.
Yep that's why I against warning labels they interfere with nature wedding out the stupid people and we can all see what has happened. The world is full of them
The scary fact is those warning labels on products like: "Do not use in the shower" on a hairdryer, are there because SOMEONE did exactly that and got severely injured or killed. We are coddling the weak LOL!
They are not so dumb or stupid They are not so dumb nor so stupid that they don't, (particularly in the USA), have the capacity to engage a lawyer to file suit for product liability damages claims . Product manufacturers and distributors don't want to become financial Darwin Awardees for failing to discharge their duty of care to consumers, hence the seemingly redundant warnings and advisories. As the saying goes...."Nothing is fool proof.......because fools are so ingenious."
When that rank fool climbed up there, and began fumbling in his pocket, I screamed, "NO! You cannot be THAT stupid!" Of course, he WAS.

"Holy s**t, Dude!" And he keeps puffing his cigarette..... Probably holed his lung....... not a Darwin Winner unless he dies.
Al lest he is a runner up. I for one know how that feels. That is as dumb as it gets. I wear my vest almost every day and trust it but never would I just let someone shoot me for fun. I don't trust anything that much.
