safety??

[JERRY2KONE]

In truth we only need to fear the unknown, because we cannot predict or control what we do not know. The rest is about respect and common sense as linc stated. If you respect your gear and treat it accordingly you should be just fine. If you know the effects of a battery catching fire or exploding then you know how to pretect yourself from its effects. Keep a fire extinguisher somewhere in the house, but not in the same room. If something catches fire in that room how will you get to the extinguisher. Second make sure you store and charge your Lipos properly. I like the photo that I saw in the R/C home shops thread where one guy keeps his LIpos in a fire resistant document safe. That is a great idea and just one example of protecting yourself from possible catastrophy. There is enough information out there to know what the hazards are and use the brain that the good Lord gave you to take precaustions. Most of the accidents you here about, there is some guy standing there saying I should have known better. Of course you should know better. Your safety is your responsibility.
