Product Liability Insurance is easily circumvented by being self insured. You'd be surprised how many companies out there are self insured.<br />
<br />
But you have to be extra diligent in making sure that any incidents involving your products are determined to be human error or acts of god, not equipment failures.<br />
<br />
To do this make sure that the "experts" investigating the incident have no medical knowledge or background in investigation techniques and try to ensure that the product in question is sent…
Product Liability Insurance is easily circumvented by being self insured. You'd be surprised how many companies out there are self insured.<br />
<br />
But you have to be extra diligent in making sure that any incidents involving your products are determined to be human error or acts of god, not equipment failures.<br />
<br />
To do this make sure that the "experts" investigating the incident have no medical knowledge or background in investigation techniques and try to ensure that the product in question is sent back to your lab for testing after the incident. That way you are in control, see no product liability issues here.<br />
<br />
It also helps if information regarding said incidents is not made easily available to lawyers, survivors, or other end product users. Also don't publish any of your equipment test results or flow rates, just slap an offical looking sticker on it from your testing facility. It passes so says I. See easy as pie :)<br />
<br />
Fair Use and Right of First Sale allow you to do whatever you like with your property, you bought it, you can alter it, destroy it, paint it plaid but in doing so you assume any liability for said changes.<br />
<br />
There are no grounds for suit if you are changing it just for your personal use. So long as you legally acquired and own all said products. Sorry but anyone can sue anybody for anything at anytime in this country so not guarantees there.<br />

The big stickler on any new helmet design you want to sell is if you can get product liability Insurance.<br />
Any body can build a helmet and use it for his own use or death.<br />
You cannot infringe on anothers patent and sell it.<br />
You can modify any helmet to what you want, like sticking a regulator in the face plate of a Desco Air Hat.<br />
Its what the company you work for will allow. and where is the law that it must be tested by any lab?<br />

Just for the purpose of public education, the band mask frame that I used for a pattern to cast from was a U.S. Divers - 8 frame which I still have and its shape was altered with several improvements.

Correct me if I am wrong, I have seen a similar hat and band-mask setup... is it similar to that one by that one guy who was lost track of, with the pic from that one site, I forget which one.<br />
<br />
I really thought that it was cool! Even if I had never even seen it, which I can't recall if I did or not, and if I do I cannot recall the context in which it was originally viewed... uh...good description, it like, painted a picture...<br />

Actually there is nobody certified to test or cert a rig like that but the guy who made it, then all you would need is a release, along with specific instructions to the company, your spouse and your lawyer, to not have the unit sent to or tested at dive lab, but another testing facility in the event of an accident..<br />
<br />
You'd have big issues if you tried to sell them though.<br />
<br />
Lots of supercharged regs out there,
