Greedy,
The american system of justice is based on 12 people voting on whether a law has been broken or not. In the case of a personel injury case they are voting with their pocket book. What would you award to a defendent (regardless of stupidity) if you knew that you were setting a precedence and that you would likely receive the same award if you were in the same predicament. Greed. These trials should be by Judge only and absolve manufactures of blatant stupidity. Did the operator read the manual and acknowledge risk, were the guards in place, did he knowingly run a finger past a spinng blade? Does he know what danger is when he sees it?
