I used to make modifications to everything from cars to equipment for the handicapped. The insurance involved can be significant. The sorts of things that may happen can be unusual.

I hate to bring this up but what if some child with the prosthetic has it fail while holding something sharp or possibly holding a hand rail? What protections do the people printing this stuff have in writing?
