If you think that encouragement of:
* safety glasses
* safety cages
* filing sharp cut metal as soon as its cut before of letting team members lean on it
* trying to reducing the number of people within inches of 60 FPS metal objects
are suggestions of smothering-
then you and I have totally different ideas of what smothering is.
I am truly glad no students were hurt- I would think the goal would be for all team members to be unbloodied and gouge-free, not just the students.
Maybe liability lawyers in Colorado are totally different than lawyers on the East Coast. I would appreciate if let us know the outcome of your next conversation with your legal department and whether you would volunteer to show them the videos and pictures that were shown here and these posting and your responses.
After you show them the video and pictures, would you be willing to ask the legal department if they would consider ANY or ALL of the suggestions offered in this thread as amounting to be "so smothering all the time"?
