[TCML] Tesla Coil Needed for Art Exhibition in Los Angeles (fwd)

[Jeff W. Parisse]

Chip,

No, the liability would extend to the manufacturer. That's why we rent; our 
policy dictates that a special operator accompany the machine to limit 
exposure. It would actually be WORSE to sell TCs to the public (we sell to 
large industrial clients; Universal, Cirque du Soleil, Science Museums, 
etc.).

As list owner, you should talk to your attorney about the exposure to 
liability taken on by TCML when it posts open-calls. Perhaps a TCML 
disclaimer that goes with each open-call would be in your best interest. 
You're not 1-800 Doctors in that you are not offering qualified referrals as 
might be implied.
