AH, you mis-interpret. Lawsuits of this nature don't usually come from 
the victom of injury, but rather their family. If someone accidentally 
electrocutes himself on an amplifier HV line, his FAMILY sues for 
accidental death.

This same process has all but driven light aircraft manufacturers out of 
business. (Ironically, the light *KIT* aircraft business is booming)
