Now you know how health and safety regulations are becoming stricter by the minute. Some argue that these regulations are very helpful, protecting the vulnerable, whereas others say that people who fail to use everyday tools and utilities simply do not deserve to be dragged along by society, in other words they are being "naturally selected"... Artist Bill Burns is trying to push the conversation to the limit. He created Safety Gear for small animals, which aims to "protect" small animals from everyday threads. He created an exhibition called "The Museum of Safety Gear for Small Animals":

"The Museum of Safety Gear for Small Animals is the largest museum of safety gear for small animals in the world. It is an itinerant museum in three parts: the safety gear collection, the multi-media program, and the publishing house. "

"Central to the museum’s collection are nineteen pieces of scale model safety and rescue gear.The total weight of the safety gear collection is 944 grams. The pressure of the vacuum table used to produce the safety gear is eighty-four kilograms per square centimetre. If all the materials from the collection were unraveled in a line one micrometre thick it would stretch around the Earth’s equator two and three-quarters times. Forty-three different fasteners are used in the construction of the safety and rescue gear. There are 2,750 machine stitches and 234 hand stitches in the museum’s safety gear collection."
