Yeh I agree.
Its a bit harsh to have to change the way to work due to what ifs. I mean everyday a windowcleaner climbs up his ladder with a bucket of soapy water and risks the ladder falling or the soap making him slip.
And if the ladder drops on someone then he's going to be the one in trouble even though it was an accident, it will be seen as 'negligence' or 'recklessness' and will blame him for the ladder not being secure.
If a child falls and cracks his head at a party due to the clowns bubbles the mother isnt going to be too impressed I should imagine and lawsuits are encouraged more and more for accident claims these days.
