It's the mix of secure and non secure content in/on the page.  I hope it doesn't hurt anyone :(

Safety tips for minimizing Railwire danger:

1.  Do not look directly into the Railwire without protective eyewear.  If you must view the Railwire with unprotected eyes, try too look off to the side as frequently as possible.
2.  Use of an athletic protective cup is highly encouraged.
3.  Use of a helmet with a facial splash guard is also highly encouraged.

Railwire Gold Membership comes with additional safety features such as extra absorbent padding, a mouth guard, and roll bars.

What level do we have to achieve to actually receive protective eyewear ?  And maybe a hardhat for when we post comments that we follow up with " ducks for cover"

Will a hard hat, like the one Ed K. uses, offer sufficient protection?

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under ten should avoid prolonged exposure to The Railwire.

Caution: The Railwire may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.

The Railwire contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.

Do not use The Railwire on concrete.

Discontinue use of The Railwire if any of the following occurs:

If The Railwire begins to smoke, get away immediately.  Seek shelter and cover head.

When not in use, The Railwire should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration.  Failure to do so relieves the makers of The Railwire of any and all liability.

Ingredients of The Railwire include an unknown glowing substance, which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

The Railwire has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

Of course it would be our resident attorney whose other hobby is a growing collection of inane product safety warnings. Takes one to know one!  :trollface:

It looks like someone linked to a photo on that URL.  I'll try to clean it up.
