No, not kidding at all. Go back and take a look at the almost 3 pages of warnings. Does it not strike you as completely insane that a company has to write 3 pages of warnings, including such gems as "don't fly over people", "keep clear of spinning props", and "do not fly near tall buildings". The average person wouldn't know that already? The warnings and cautions aren't weak, the fact that they have to be included is weak. How would you strengthen these warnings, go to 6 pages? Don't try to floss teeth with spinning blades, don't fly while sleeping, please do not warm battery in oven....etc etc?
They can only caution against so many things. Of course someone will use the item in an unintended manner, and then sue when something bad happens.
This is why you buy an iron now and it comes with a warning to not apply to the face when turned on. Doh!
