Will they ever learn a tin can with no pressure relief system, is just not the proper pressure vessel.

My dad's favorite version of that is "If I could buy you for what you're worth, and sell you for what you think you're worth, I'd be a rich man!" But Swinny's engineer version is great on its own.

The ratio between your confidence and ignorance is absolutely staggering

Actually that number would be very small as they are directly proportional terms. Just sayin'

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

 

[SwinnyGG]

You aren't wrong. But very small numbers can still be staggering.

Gentlemen... not very nice.

'nice' expired 27 stupid threads ago.

I value honesty and adherence to truth about 1,000 times more than I value decorum for its own sake.

 

[thebard3]

This is just an example of somebody with limited understanding, misdiagnosing a complex system and demanding a simple solution to fix it. I see it happen regularly and fortunately there are usually more knowlegable folks with better understanding in place to control it.

Actually, I like the "All that needs to happen" since it's a lot like "A miracle happens here" on a punch list

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

After the comment about aviation just look at the JAL crash thread and the avionics bay getting taken out and the engines continuing to run..

More people were killed in that accident than 10 years worth of airbag incidents.

Someone once suggested that the best way to improve car safety was to remove the steering wheel airbag and replace it with a metal spike...

My design work was / is improving all the bad designs that others have done. Retired now, but still seem to have to do that.

I'm thinking any airbag injured people would not be agreeing with what many have spewed here.

I do not believe you, and I don't think many (or any) others in this thread do either.

 

[Alistair_Heaton]

Like it or not this acceptable risk is part of many industry's.

Adverse reaction to food carry's a higher tariff than what's been discussed here.

There is more risk the first time someone takes an antibiotic for the first time than the first time a airbag deploys in an accident.

Everyone in the know knows that it's too expensive to improve bad designs. Instead, we learn to work around the bad designs...

 

[Alistair_Heaton]

Another recall?

[enginesrus]

Recall? most seem to think having those injury's mentioned is well worth it.
Yeah Tug the work around for this is the thick padding everyone needs to wear.

This is different to the original subject.

This is unstable pyrotechnics which are not giving a stable action or trigger
