Bob - In the current environment in Ontario, you should know better than to suggest a student doing the squirting. A teacher might do it on the basis that they should know what they can and can not do safely and are more or less responsible for their own safety. The teachers are also held responsible for the students' safety, even if the student does something that common sense and the instuctor say not to do. Even if one teacher squirts while another teacher drives there will be someone who will say that by demonstrating the technique they have led a student to do something irresponsible in future. I disagree with the concept of everyone except the individual being responsible for their own actions, but the concept is out there.
I haven't heard of charges or lawsuits following from the Ottawa student who died while cutting a drum that had held peppermint oil, but.............
Rob falls in the category of "old enough to make his own decisions".
