Christ people, where has common sense all gone these days?
Of course if you're going to sit out in the sun for hours on your holiday without protection you can potentially get skin cancer? Of course you're going to get burnt if you lift a coffee cup containing a hot beverage. It's all self inflicted, nothing more.
It's getting ridiculous. I await the day when I read that some bloke/woman sues a club because she/he got STDs because of not stopping them from having a s |-|ag in the toilet on a night out.

Can I just remind people that this was a study suggesting the possibility and not someone suing a travel company.
Can I also say that the effects of the sun have been underestimated and so was the danger of skin cancer, it is a very serious danger and up until a few years ago it wasn't treated as so. The problem was that people were unaware of the danger
