From the manual for the Canon WP-DC90 waterproof camera case:

* Do not use the Waterproof Case in place of a personal
flotation device (life jacket).

Check.

Thanks for posting that.

um.. that's not a safety label. Sure it keeps you safe, but in the heat
of battle it's not hard to imagine mixing up which way is the front or
the back on an otherwise unmarked but directional explosive device.

Anyway, it's more like a one-way arrow street sign.

I've set 'em up and fired 'em in the dark, the concave shape was a sure
giveaway to me.

I certainly have a hard time not seeing it as a safety label, but to each
sense of humor his own.

I prefer to be located behind substantial cover no matter which way the
nasty bastard is pointed, and I have the chunks to prove it.

Probably a better giveaway than trying to touch-read the letters in the
dark.

LOL if we are trading safety hint I loved it tonight. I just bought
and put together a new gas grill, I liked the suggestion to not smoke
while you test the lines for gas leaks

I bought one of those 180,000 BTU outdoor turkey fryers, and the first
safety instruction is "The assembly and operation of this cooker
requires a sober adult." Any instruction in the recipes that calls for
beer or wine includes the warning that drinking some will impair your
ability to safely operate the cooker.

They obviously know their target market fairly well.....by the way, what fun
is frying turkey sober?

Run it without a regulator and you can get more BTUs out of it... Quite
impressive... Kind of like your own personal afterburner...

I wonder if TVA has any signs that say "caution, do not use candles to
locate hydrogen leaks"

The old Halcyon tank weights carried a label saying
"To avoid scuba related injuries, do not dive".
