"Liability waivers yes, cameras no. If you put a camera to monitor an area there is an expectation that someone is watching it and is expected to step in when things look wrong (hotels don't put cameras at pools to avoid wrongful death lawsuits for drowning, maker spaces don't put cameras around tools likely to cut fingers, etc.)."

"SawStop has the ability to stop a table saw blade from causing serious injury by forcibly stopping the blade when it detects a finger touch. This company owns the patent on this tech, but the rest of the industry has failed to work out a license for it. We really should push the government to step in and work out a compromise and push forward legislation that requires power tool manufacturers to report injuries and actively work on reducing them. No one wants to lose a finger, especially a student so young in their career. We have the technology to stop these kinds of accidents, just the political will to do it. Sometimes it takes outrageous lawsuits to move things forward."
