Include safety considerations in your design, construction and operation of your Mutant Vehicle
Burning Man Department of Mutant Vehicles volunteers ask you to be thinking about safety in terms of your vehicle's design, passengers, operating procedures, and how people can get on and off of your vehicle, and whether your vehicle includes trailers. If your vehicle will carry passengers, you must make sure it can handle its potential passenger capacity.
Ultimately the applicant is solely accountable for all Mutant Vehicle safety cautions and considerations and is legally responsible for all aspects of safety; including but not limited to the Mutant Vehicle's design, engineering, construction, passenger capacity, safety procedures, operation and structural / mechanical integrity. Applicants must provide for and maintain functioning brakes, controllable speed, and adequate lighting.
Tragedy struck the Burning Man Community when a participant was killed in a 2003 Mutant Vehicle accident. Attorneys for the victims family cast a wide legal net that entangled the MV Driver, licensee, camp, co-creators and BRC volunteers, including many who provided labor for it's construction or qualified it for operation at the event. Some found themselves in dire financial straights due to the cost of defending themselves in court.
