Yes nick,

Physics and common sense say not to do it the Nick way.  Codes are
generally rewritten when someone dies, so that no more have to die.
That is what common sense IS.  One definition of insanity is doing
things the same way and expecting different results.  The codes were
written because doing things your way got people killed in the past.
So you want to try it again and see if maybe they just get injured this
time?

Besides, the codes are not just my rules, they are everyones rules.
Except yours, that is.  If someone told you not to stand under a steel
beam that was falling, your dying words would be "I disagree"

Discussing things like safety with you is a waste of time.
