Re: OMFG
"household appliances are designed to prevent you from doing stupid things."
That's a very 20th century remark, which seems increasingly inapplicable to various modern pieces of consumer electronics and even white goods (and other stuff).
Expect increasing accident rates as the years go by and appliances are designed more by the "industrial design" people and less by actual clued up engineers.
This applies particularly to software-based systems in recent decades; far too much software is not fit for purpose, defective by design, and yet it's extremely rare for anyone to be held accountable for providng or procuring stuff that isn't fit for purpose.
