Plus, the dangers are much exaggerated. From a few feet away from the oven
you'd probably just get a slight warming sensation. More people are burned
by heating pads - or boiling water from the oven.


Yes, but that "slight warming sensation" from a broken oven
is actually more dangerous than the surface burn from normal
heat sources. Your body is set up to detect and avoid burning
on the OUTSIDE. If a microwave emmiter is having enough of
an effect that you can FEEL it, then it's sunburning your guts.
You can take a LITTLE of that, but over time it can cause
a fair amount of internal damage, and you won't even know it,
until and unless it kills you.
