These "safety knobs" claim to prevent pets, children, or anyone who might bump into the knobs from accidentally turning them on. In theory, this is great, but a more cost-effective and disability-friendly version of this concept already exists.
And if you think a disability is not and will never be a concern for you, this is also a friendly reminder of the following disability statistics:
- 1 in 3 working Americans will become disabled for 90 days or more before age 65.
- 1 in 4 of today's 20-year-olds will become disabled before the age of 65.
- 1 in 8 workers will become disabled for 5 years or more during their lifetime.
- Almost all disabilities (90%) are caused by illness, not accidents.
