Re: Should Zip Ties (Cable Ties) Have a Warning Label?

It is not only zip ties, but other things used for cable management. We had one person on our team stick two fingers in a thing used to bundle wires. It is a braided nylon tube that works like a finger trap. While he was stuck in it, it was fun to pull him around, but he eventually got out.

Re: Should Zip Ties (Cable Ties) Have a Warning Label?

Bungee cords can be dangerous if not handled correctly.

Warning labels can only do so much, it comes down to individual safety practices and responsibility.

Re: Should Zip Ties (Cable Ties) Have a Warning Label?

Warning labels don't usually help. Labels come on bags of balloons, which are meant to be decorations, not toys, and are not usually printed on each balloon. Yet everywhere they are handing out helium balloons, parents are seen giving one to little Junior, who promptly puts it in his mouth. Which is why I gave up making balloon animals and started doing only face painting when I was a clown. When a balloon is popped it explodes (as seen here) and can easily be inhaled.
It's like putting the Warning: Hot labels on coffee cups. What happened to common sense?

I'm glad I don't have this problem because I use Bar-Loks.
