The dangers of sunbed misuse
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7899199.stm
OK she used it more than she should have but the place was unmanned, unless there's some sort of failsafe mechanism that stops prolonged use then this was just asking for trouble.

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
I'm disappointed this bloke is going to be run into the ground over this. The girl read - and - ignored clear safety warnings. You can't protect everyone from themselves as some would have you believe.

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
I am atually in two minds about this. While I do think these are potentially dangerous machines (well, I don't just think it, they are) and am suprised that they are allowed to operate unmanned tanning salons, I do think that people should take some responsibility for their own actions. You can be badly burnt walking out in the Sun.

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
Kirsty said she had no idea the tanning booths were so dangerous.
Where has she been for the last 14 years?. Are all Welsh girls this stupid?

Without staff though, how would you enforce it?

Precisely! So unmanned sunbeds are a no no for precisely this reason..children aren't always as clued up as you would think..After all how many of us were interested in boring things like watching the news or reading newspapers when we were 14?

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
even if there were staff in there, are they really going to stop someone who's been in longer than x minutes?
personally I find it sad that anyone would want to use a sunbed at all, no substitute for a bit of sunshiiiiiiine

Which brings us to those who abdicate all responsibilities to their 'customers'.
I personally wouldn't want to use an unmanned anything just in case it malfunctioned anyway...

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
She's just been on the radio stating that it's the salons fault...sounds like a trailer park money grabber who's looking for a bit of compensation...
If she ignored the signs (and there would ahve been signs as to no-one under 16 without supervision) then it's her own stupid fault.. From hearing her though I bet she won't learn her lesson...

Still don't like the idea of an unmanned coin in the slot sunbed anyway for previous stated reason.

Re: The dangers of sunbed misuse
I once misused a sun bed as a sandwich toaster. Took me ages to get the cheese off it.
