You could put giant billboards warning for the risk and it would still become a recurring event. Even if it said "warning: this is capable of grinding a human being to pulp".

Where is that sentence from?

Why can't we have basic, objective, uncomplicated worded warnings like that? Maybe the stupid ratio would drop.

I've heard of it posted on high voltage electrical panels, but never seen it myself (I'm not an electrician). I don't know if I got the wording exactly right, but it sounds good.
