@rb-j I think they made the same mistake someone who says "safety equipment prevents injury and death" makes, when they don't qualify it with "safety equipment prevents injury and death some of the time, but there are times when even using safety equipment won't prevent injury, because the world isn't perfect. So let's dwell on that latter case, rather than actually making progress by getting people to use safety equipment".

I'm all in on the safety equipment manufacturer continuing to attempt to make the equipment better. I am not in agreement with discouraging people to wear it at all because it has a non-zero failure rate.

I continue to believe you are doing an overall disservice by dwelling on one failure that was the equivalent of the guy above getting a bruise or abrasion.
