Yeh, one time I had an issue with it, pump shutting off. Figured it was the pump itself, but maybe it's what you're describing. But usually nah, I don't have problems with it.
and the trigger here is a claim on what is "substantive" vs what is not.
That’s true. Kinda like we learned in the US about the fuel bomb behind the seat in 1960s trucks and 1970s exploding fuel tanks on Fords. After so many casualties people do learn.
We agree that we're each entitled to our own opinion. Just not to force it on others.

Maybe, but every situation is different. Some kids are around things all the time and have parents who teach them well. I know of a farming family whose 10 year old run the grain cart (YouTube 'Millennial Farmer'). Pulling a 70k cart with an 8-series Deere. Well supervised and capable of it. There's also a video of a 6-year old playing a drum solo that most adults couldn't master. There are 11-year olds that are capable of babysitting other kids. On the other hand I've also known 11-year olds that I wouldn't trust to stay home by themselves for a couple hours or send them down the driveway to get the mail along a county road because they just weren't mature enough. It should be up to the parents to decide what their kids are capable of (within reason, of course, but not nitpicked by worst-case what-ifs). And society should do a good job educating people well enough that they are capable of being 'good parents'.Just because you and I survived childhood doesn't mean we should have been doing the things we did with the things that we did them with.
Yeah I remember going out with my dad on weekends to run his errands which usually ended up at Louie's bar and Grill. I thought I was really something sitting their next to my dad drinking my Nehi soda and eating peanuts while he and his buddy drank down cool one after cool one. And, I do remember a time or two to be asked to drive the old 60 Chevy out the parking lot to take them both home.True you can't send a 6 year old to the local bar to get beer any more. I used make that run almost every evening.
No, but some product injuries aren’t the result of being stupid, but simply defective products. For example, the exploding fuel tanks in certain 1970s vehicles. Regulations resulted in design changes that improved safety.
