Of course its not his fault, as according to todays trial lawyers, nothing is the indivuals fault. I think he should sue not only the dealership but: 1. The gas station where he bought the fuel. They didn't have a specific language warning that fuel in machines placed next to a raging inferno of brush might exceed the flash point of their product. 2. Komatsu, and all their parent companies and subsideries. They should have known that their machine COULD be used to stack brush, and brush is obviously something that COULD burn. No where in the instructions or operating manuals does it say NOT to park their product next to or in the center of a forest fire. 3. Whoever made the products he ate for lunch. I'll bet the packageing did not have a warning label indicating that the consumer should not consume their product while A. SCUBA Diving, B. during the process of having their gall bladder removed, or C. while leaving expensive equipment parked next to a conflagration of brush. 4. The match company...which started the entire fire to begin with. Does it say in the pack of matches that one should not park things next to fires that were started with their product? I think not! So, I really think this man was unfairly harmed by corporate america, and he, his family, his unborn children, all his friends, relations, acquaitances, and lawyesr should be justly compensated. As a minimum, he suffered financial damage, traumatic stress, flash backs, nightmares, acute gingivitis, hyperventilation, halluncintions, and serious other disorders causing irreparable damage. Others must pay - including corporate america, the small businessman, the greedy insurance companies, (all who deserve to go bankrupt) and yes, all Americans, through higher insurance premiums. America...this is the very least we can do for this man!
