The sad thing is I'm sure a lot of these were added because someone actually did one of those things and sued the company. Now they put those on there to protect themselves from getting sued again.

In Valdez, AK they have to use snowblowers on the roofs. Every now and then they don't realize how far they have gone ... plunk.

"Never use hair dryer while sleeping."

I'll remember to keep that in mind.

I've had to use a snowblower on a roof. The warning on that makes sense. Most flat roofs where it might need to be used usually have a cover of gravel. Snowblowers shoot that stuff at amazing speed and distance.

We were using them after a blizzard to keep the roof from collapsing.
