Probably, given someone sued because they didn’t tie their own shoes. (8th item down)

Do I sue the escalator co. or the shoe maker? Or both? Neither? Perhaps warning labels on the shoes are in order? Or, how about on the escalators? Perhaps the shoes should come with an instructions manual (in several languages) with bold warning messages designed to prevent any accidents (“WARNING: Do not wear these shoes!”)

A better answer may be to legislate all footwear to be steel-toed. You now, for safety.

It casts a shadow of altruism but alas, it’s only a mirage.
