With all due respect Jim, it was cursory at best. NASA said, "Hey, we need insurance," and went to a carrier(s) who asked, "Do you subscribe to the industry standard?" NASA said, "Sure. We're even members of SFI." The carrier looked around, saw a bunch of SFI labels and cashes the premium check.
The carrier did not ask, "You guys wouldn't be engaging in gross negligence by way of ignoring safer products just so you could CYA with a label, would you?" Why did they not ask this question? Because gross negligence leads to punitive damages and, in most states, insurance carriers are not allowed, by law, to cover punitives--it won't cost them a dime extra.
A jury comes back with $1,000,000 in compensatory damages and the carrier says, "Here's your check." The jury then adds $20,000,000 punitive and the carrier says, "Good luck, and have a nice day."
And heaven help any NASA officers/agents/stockholders/franchisees who may also be HANS/R3 dealers.
Someone needs to get their head in the game.

I can't believe you are posting what NASA said, not knowing what NASA said. I find this totally unprofessional. Your scare tactics are worse. I don't mind debating this with you but this is ridiculous.
Say what you want about this. I am done.
