Safety - Other
@Jeff: Thats should be good with the extinguisher. It would be almost comical to see the super soaker putting out a bot. I can just see the caption "No one told him that water pistols are a prohibited weapon for bots".
But anyway, I don't want to hassle everyone, but I see this as a big issue. There was one person that came forward and said they've had first aid training, which was great. But the other thing that needs to be sorted is an actual kit.
On the day it is imperative if an accident occurs that the person who puts their hand up to assist knows where this kit is and who else can assist. There's all sorts of horrible issues surrounding liability, but our intentions should be about people's safety, sort all that other crap out later but plan for the worst case scenario. Obviously that would be something like a deep arterial laceration, or appendages being severed. Horrible to consider but nonetheless possible outcomes.
These machines are potentially lethal, if having some structure and procedures laid down before the event means that an emergency is handled properly then they should be enacted.
Forgive my spiel, just couldn't live with myself if I didn't speak up.
Hope you all understand.
