So, because BBQ's are for sale means its OK to use them on board a boat , inside a caravan or tent ................ ?

No - you miss my point -

People should have enough common sense to work out what might be dangerous or hazardous places to use the device.

Safety legislation can't cover every possible potentially dangerous situation in warnings. People have to use a bit of 'common'

 

Is this the £2 or £5 argument???

Where is the evidence it was used inside the boat, nothing in the Fire Brigade statement about it.

 It was no "accident",they were putting in some serious training for their Darwin Award!?

 

 

Unfortunately,there is nothing "common" about "sense"!?

Some things should just not be in a boat. A couple of years ago a couple moved a cooling BBQ just inside a tent they were in. Both died from CO. Can't find a link but these things can be lethal.

Red Indians in their wigwams and Eskimo's in their Igloo's have roaring fires on the inside. The wigwams don't catch light and the Igloo's don't melt. Eskimo burglars use a blowlamp.

Hope the insurance did not pay out. Why should sensible people foot the bill.

You are completely correct, pictured is an acceptable flue collar....somewhere.....but not on a boat. Believe it or not, it passed the BSS.

You are making an assumption they had it.

Insurance can cover stupidity, ( car insurance would not be possible without so doing) however it does not cover negligence.

So they might be insured, whilst a car with a bald tyre could not be insured.

And why not if the flue is sound
