And why didn't Osorio's boss get sued for giving him a job he was never trained upon or qualified to do? It disgusts me greatly to see how personal accountability has vanished from the majority of people's ethics. And speaking of ethics, how can any attorney take on a case such as this knowing full well that it was not the equipment's fault?

Following then same logic as the attorney's argument that the saw should have been equipped, why are there lawsuits against car manufacturers for installing disc brakes in front and drum brakes in back when disc brakes are superior, or more currently what about those cars equipped with sensing devices that tell you when you are near a car in your blind sight. Isn't that superior to turning your head while driving? Where are the suits along these lines?

Lastly, I agree with the others who have commented about the stupid juries who award such decisions and the judges who award the penalties. I just hope Ryobi appeals this decision all the way until they find people who have some sense about them!

I agree with Bill2- no way would I ever buy a saw made bu Gass. I have been a profession woodworker for 30 years without an accident using a saw with out Gass's technology. His attitude about being vindicated is condescending and arrogant, and I won't support him with a purchase of his equipment.
