Wanted to make sure you saw this (commented on the OP for this comment thread):

There is some incredibly interesting backstory to these types of saws: https://www.thisweekintorts.com/blog/2017/11/1/sawstop-stop-saw-safety

Tldr; technology is patented, patent owner is trying to make using his saws the only legal option.

People sue after someone helps them in an emergency situation. Ex. "Yeah, my car was on fire and exploded minutes after I was dragged out of it, but the guy who dragged me twisted my arm and should pay my hospital bills!"

So yes, I could see someone suing for getting injured on someone else's trampoline or in someone else's pool that they voluntarily entered.

You probably rarely get this question due to, as you mentioned, the stigma with Big Tobacco, but how does one break into this industry (aside from an internship)?

!!! I'll shoot you an email. I'm a grown man and I may have just elicited a very child-like noise of glee.

Thanks for the response! I appreciate your insight. I'm a fan/user of cigars, so tobacco is certainly filed under my "interests" list, and I currently work in marketing. At this point in my life, I'm trying to figure out what career track I want to follow (especially as far as industry). Tobacco is pretty high on my list.
