- Maybe this doesn't count, but I went to school with a girl who suffered 3rd
- degree burns on the front of her body from the neck to the waist when her
- nightgown, which was not flame-resistant, caught on fire when she reached
- across a candle. It was a terrible accident caused in part by carelessness,
- but I'm sure she and her family will always wonder what her life would have
- been like had she been wearing flame-resistant sleepwear (skin grafts are
- not fun, and the tissue was damaged badly enough that she would never develop
- breasts).
