Maybe one day, someone you hire or have a professional relationship with will make a mistake or bump up against an idiot who created an unsafe situation, and you'll be considered responsible.

Actually the band should be consdidered as part of the idiocy. They could have said no to the use of pyrotechnics, but they didn't instead they let an unlicensed pyrotechnician represent them.

Are pyrotechnicians legally required to be licensed? If not, why not? In Rhode Island, is it the club or the pyrotechnician who is required to secure a permit for their use?

So, Dane, what do you think about lawyers going after foam manufacturers?
