I have never heard of a court case awarding anyone a dime for getting burnt on a sidepipe, just a lot of "once upon a time" stories.... Anybody can sue anybody for anything, winning the case is another thing. If I only did things that left me completely free from anyone possibly suing me for something I'd more then likely just spend the day in the house, and I'm not about to do that.

Like Johnboy, I tend to bellow when little kids are allowed to get to close to something hot like a sidepipe. If it's an adult, let them touch it. I'll bill them for continuing their education!!!!! I refuse to live my life with my actions dictated by how the "lowest common denominator" might react to how I do things.....
