Safety is relative; it is not absolute. But much can be done to reduce the number of accidents by improving the products we use. The point that seems to be lost in all these accusations and arguments is that people are being injured and killed and much damage is being done to property. Many products are inherently hazardous because of the purposes for which they are to be used, but safeguards can often be provided to minimize and control these hazards. In some cases hazards can be eliminated entirely or their probabilities of causing accidents reduced to such a low value that they can be considered to have been eliminated. The problem has been that those who design and manufacture these products are too often uneducated in ways of providing safeguards." - Willie Hammer
