The advantage of being ignorant...

Taser wins another case.

"...Taser argued that it did not know that the muscle contractions produced by the weapon were strong enough to cause a fracture."

See? If you're a moron you can get away with almost anything.

Link= Taser - the advantage of being ignorant

Here's the point: A careful engineer would have consulted a medical expert and they could have made a list of risks liable to occur when high voltage is applied to a human. This list would likely be several pages in length, and self-fracturing of bones would be on the top half of page 1.

Has anyone subpoenaed Taser's design files?

Don't worry, eventually one of these lawsuits will stick.
