>>The idea that every gadget, or even most should be child-safe is silly.

NONSENSE

If any consumer product is sold into the home, there should, at least in any modern society, be a presumption that it is safe.

>>On a personal note I honestly hate how often health and safety regulation gets in the way of what would be cool products and experiences these days

So effing work harder to make it safe before you make the product, or sell it only into professional/industrial settings; in those settings, you can require specific training/certification/etc. And even in those settings they require reasonable safety devices.

The short answer is that in a modern society, you do not have a right to MAKE YOUR PROFITS by selling inherently dangerous objects to consumers.

Ordinary consumers should be able to expect that they do not need special expertise to keep from losing a limb or life.
