    Mantraps that use deadly force are illegal in the United States, and in notable tort law cases the trespasser has successfully sued the property owner for damages caused by the mantrap. There is also the possibility that such traps could endanger emergency service personnel such as firefighters who must forcefully enter such buildings during emergencies. As noted in the important American court case of Katko v. Briney, “the law has always placed a higher value upon human safety than upon mere rights of property”.[5]

    It’s also kind of squished on some racking, and with it been a 4u rack case full of HDD it’s quite heavy. If you have made it this far in to the garage, you not only have done well but passed the beer collection and numerous cordless power tools. It also has a sign saying beware of the leopard.
