Wego Kite Tube of Death Accident

velocityboy · 07-10-2006, 08:24 PM

I just received my Wego in the mail today. The text warning that it can be dangerous or fatal if used improperly can be found:

- on the outside of the box
- on the printed owners manual
- on the instruction DVD
- on the tube itself

The instruction DVD and the printed manual go into great detail telling you what *not* to do.

In addition, the outside of the box contains what is essentially a EULA saying that by assembling the tube, you agree that it is dangerous and that you or your family will not hold the manufacturer responsible.

The only defense I can see that you didn't know this thing could hurt you would be if you were illiterate and had an I.Q. of 12.

And I agree with you on tort reform. It's way too easy to sue in this country, and the settlements are huge, which gives mega incentive for frivolous lawsuits. I've heard lawyers refer to this as "shake the tree and see what falls out."
