Messie, sorry to hear about your incident and hopefully all is well with you. Good to hear, you don't subscribe to "sue everybody" mantra.
I have my thought on the action of the ill equiped etc attendant but I doubt it was solely because of him wanting to be an A-hole per se. Of course inadequate training is the obvious and I'll leave it at that.
I have to say I find some of the "sue this sue that" being bandied about amusing.
Wonder how many folks have all the stuff they seem to think should have been on site(yes I understand all the H&S bits) and indeed have gone for any first aid training themselves....and that's just for the protection of ones own family.
For sure some do and that's good thing. How many people have a fire extinguisher etc in the car?
We complain that we live in an age where people want to pass on the blame for everthing onto others but yet that's exactly what most seem to be doing here. I bet if petrol stations were to make everyone fill their bikes on the side stand, X amount of folks would be up in arms.
I how ever agree that it should be mentioned to the company.
By the way, there was no fire caused by ignited petrol etc
