I agree with Bob. In general, people just don't take responsibility for their actions. Things can keep being examined and analyzed until the end of time. Ultimately, it will result in poorer economic environment.

Bottom line, sometimes, **** happens!

I have played this game with the FAA in aviation for the last 15 years. I own a wood propeller manufacturing business and used to build wood propellers for antique airplanes. By law I am on the hook for 18 years if one ever failed. Trust me when I say that is not something you want lingering over your head. I built my first ones in 1999 and the last one around 2005/6 so I am still a few years away from being clear. I am very fortunate we have never had a failure and I built several hundred propellers before I quit. Oh, and no insurance company would touch me because it was considered a class 1 primary part so it is all my head if one ever did fail and cause an accident. I had to self insure and make sure I was personally protected in case the layers ever came knocking.

that is a possibility. if the insurance cost goes up and more testing is required someone has to pay for it.

Lawyers love the Walmart world we live in where everyone is making things cheaper and cheaper to try and compete. Instead of just making the best quality part you can anymore.

Like the bumper sticker says "First we kill all the lawyers" LOL. Of course I am joking but I hate the bottom feeders that are out to sue everything and everybody. That is why stuff is so damn expensive.
