[citation][nom]johnh2005[/nom]Are you serious? I mean really, when was the last time you heard of a kid getting even injured by a fan much less "Getting their fingers cut off" Fans have guards on them for a reason. The blades are dull because now adays kids are babied too much and turned into coddled little brats. Most kids will insert their fingers in front of the fan which will just scare the crap out of them and make a little noise. If they do it from the back, there is no guard, and the blades are sharp enough... Its called natural selection...[/citation]
Heh, visiting my grandparent's place, they still have some of the same fans that my mom and her brothers and sister grew up around. The 'guard' had openings so large I could stick my full grown hand into to metal blades (best I can tell the guard was to prevent large things from falling into the blades and damaging them, not finger-saving). Yet, despite these 'whirling finger choppers of doom' my mom and all my uncles and aunt still have all their fingers.
