[AT] Be Careful out there.

[charlie hill]

Mattias,   that wasn't the law in the US in '59.  However, it probably 
should have been.  I agree with you.  As I looked at the page Farmer 
mentioned along with being sad I was angered at the foolish, dangerous and 
illegal things people were doing.  ALL accidents are preventable!    We all 
make mistakes and do stupid stuff but some of the things I saw on that page 
are ridiculous and I expect the OSHA guys explained it to some of them after 
the fact.
