Hi Carsten.
I'm a U.S. citizen. Remember me when you want to
get rid of the Euronaut!
I'll sign any disclaimer papers and chisel it in
stone that you are not responsible
for my actions or death. Just come over with it and
show me how to operate it on
some dives. Happy to put you up at my house while
you are here. I'm sure that will
be some years from now until you decide to get rid
of it and go to another project,
but keep me in mind when you get to that
point.
Bill Akins.

liability?
I found a solution.
Maybe Euronaut will someday sold to
another person.
I prefer an US-Citizien. If he died - because he
handle the sub wrong or
something failed - and his wife cry a court - I
have not to much worry
about it. A German citizien will never have to leave
Germany to go to an
US-court. He is safe in Europe.. I think same is in the
opposite
direction. And a german court will give the remaining wife not
more than
some 10.000 USd for a dead father of her childrens.. Very low
rates here
for dead..
Please note that I am a naval engineer. If I
sold the sub to another
german and he make a mistake and died.. a german
court will teach me
that I am responsible for that dead.. The simple reason
for that is that
I have the knowledge and he not.
Last year a
scuba-instructor dives together here with a young diver
(with licence) -
and the young diver died. During the died of the young
diver the Instructor
was on 30 meter deep and the young man on 8 meter
deep far away. Later the
court found this instructor guilty - because he
has the better knowledge.
Please note that instructor was NOT the
teacher of the young guy - which
has allready made his diving-licence
some weeks earlier.
Here the
court looking allways for somebody is responsible - even it was
a single
man - single sub accident.. Maybe the builder or if not
available the owner
of the lake.. whatever..
Somebody has to pay..
If a child here
follows a ball/bird and runs on a higway (Autobahn - no
speed limit here)
with cars running 240 kmh (about 150 miles an hour) an
a car hit and kill
this child - the will grap the driver for shure. The
law here says simple
that you have allways to drive at a speed you can
break under all possible
circumstance..
Euronaut will end in the hand of a Museum or a
US-Citizen
and Peppers in a Dutch or German Museum..
best regards
Carsten
