For the military, if you get in a wreck on a bike with no helmut, or in a car with no seat belt,, you pay. They do not cover it, along with life insurance is same way.

I've always liked the "Warning-Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", but I have never seen any data on how much closer an object really is.

I prefer the line "Warning, objects in mirror are losing"

Just looking at a auto safety and maintenance book that Ford once put out for consumer education. In the section on inspecting the fan belt it warned that you should never try to inspect the belts with the engine running.

I have an old printing press operators manual that I like to keep around just to demonstrate how far we've come. As instructions to flush the air pump it says to place a fire extinguisher on hand, get about a pint or so of gasoline, extinguish all pilot lights ect and slowly pour the gas into the pump inlet as its running.

With instructions like that you don't need stickers.

You need a lawyer. If you survive the explosion that is.
