However, those who read Carlton's article on Bikebiz might think it safe
to draw the conclusion that "industry experts say QRs are safe, when
used correctly", even though numerous industry experts have quite
clearly expressed the contrary view.
They will also not know that one case was recently settled in favour of

Out of court settlements almost always include a statement that the
plantiff is not admitting liability. It is often less costly to pay a
small settlement than it is to defend the claim, particularly if the
jurisdiction is known to be plaintiff-favorable.
