You, as a mentor, must assume the first line of defense when it comes to safety. If you feel out of place doing this, I very, very strongly suggest that you seek out a veteran team in your area and ask for help.

Hi Mike,

I appreciate the humor :-), and I apologize for not being clear.

I wasn't asking you to list all your concerns. Just to clarify your comment about "burden of proof for a safe design", since what I mentioned IS what many "veteran" teams are doing.
