Just received another four 700c tires from Summit Bicycles because I ran

If I install the new tire myself and pump it to 100psi, might we hear a
muffled boom and see a mushroom cloud? And with all the mods on my MTB I
should be dead by now.

At least it didn't say not to eat the tires, or at least not without a
hot guacamole sauce :-)

It certainly seems ridiculous that people like Jay force these sorts of things onto the public. Jay, didn't you say that you work for a firm that handles personal injuries? At what point does common sense end and the ability to blame someone else begin?


I think there's more blame on plaintiff counsel than defense.

Besides that, the exact mechanism is more probably a
discount or threat of discontinuation from the insurance
carrier. Risk management has many aspects, a "Don't do that
- we told you so." statement being one, because the risk of
highest concern isn't the end user but rather the carrier.

One of the things I wonder about in this age of information: If I sue someone for real harm does it mean that MY insurance company might suppose that I'm liable to be more combative and increase MY rates?
