Surely, what is needed is a breakaway version that works correctly. That
can't be impossible to design.


You might have thought so.

I am annoyed because for a couple of edge cases, I have a product that
fundamentally does not work.


It's more than a couple of cutting edge cases, though. It's two
avoidable deaths a year on average. You should not have a non-working
product, but it's wrong to deny that there's an issue that the
non-working-ness is trying very badly to address.





But everyone's happy because "it's safe".

It's funny how we managed all these decades without.


We had far fewer of these sorts of blinds IIRC a few decades ago. But
more recently we've been 'managing' with two funerals a year.
