It's not. I recall my mom painting the ceiling once with her rocking
weight p/c. OTOH, she was a master at blowing things up. Exploded
our O'Keefe and Merritt gas stove at least 3 times by time I was
seven. She claims it was a drunken plumber who blew up her home about
15 yrs ago, but I ain't buying it fer a second, not with her track
record.

My Kuhn-Rikon p/c claims 5 safety releases. I can only count 3, but
what the heck, I think I'm pretty safe. Besides, I don't let Mom
near it.
