I will leave this thread alone soon, but just to reiterate my point that there is a strong theme of liability madness in the UK, because it is very important:
Today, a soldier was awarded £370K in damages for developing post-traumatic stress disorder after seeing a colleague have his arm blown off by a faulty rocket launcher in Iraq. Well, I'm sorry, but you join up to play with big, nasty boy's toys and sh*t like that happens.
And then read this story about the HSE and its persecution of an individual and groan for our country:

We need to guard against this kind of thing in aviation, or at least warn against it and ask people to think. That's why this forum and 'the other place' are so important.
